Of course you can always go online to find numbers but that is not always convenient ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Page" <gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

in that case, we should receive all telephone directories in an accessible
way that should cost us nothing to read.  This would prove expensive and
altimately problematic.  A braille version of the phone directory would be
inappropriate and a tape or CD version would take a long time to read and be 
impossible to search.
O2 are in fact starting to introduce a number of questionable schemes which affect blind and sighted people it seems. for example, 0845 numbers are no 
longer counted as part of the free minutes allowance which is a problem
though I know that geographic numbers can often be found as alternatives.
We have to stick to our contracts that we are bound into and morally if not 
legally, companies like O2 should have to stick to theirs.

 Why should service provider  treat blind people differently from  sighted
 people. Is that not  against law  DDA!

 If Sighted pay then yhes  we should pay to get same service.

 There is a good case  to  argue that  we can not read the  hardcopy
 directory, but that really only applies for  local numbers!So if the
number
 wanted was for someone  say 200 miles away, why should  we have free
service,
 and tighted don't.?
