[access-uk] Re: 3 Mobile

This is very strange, as I have recently come across this problem too.  I was 
able to connect to 3 quite easily until recently.  I don't use it as a first 
choice, but am considering which services to give up lately and was thinking of 
going for 3 as a mobile phone as well, so I tried using the computer modem 
connection.  I get a connect button, but it is totally inaccessible now whereas 
I was able to access it easily with Jaws in the past.

  Hi Ibrahim, 

  Yes I will certainly contact you off list and thanks! 

  It will be the weekend. 

  You see all I need is to activate the internet connection of course 
independently. 

  By the way there are other MSP providers who provide mobile broadband too for 
anyone to check out also. 

  I'd like to just sort out this one though! 

  Thanks a mill 

  Tony

    Hi Tony.

    Can you tell me which modem it is you have?  The reason I ask is that 
different modems use different connection software.  I believe with the latest 
modems, the three Birdseye dashboard is used, and this is totally inaccessible. 
 If you have the three connection manager however, this can be controlled with 
shortcuts.  I have mobile broadband myself and absolutely love it even if it is 
a little slower than a conventional home broadband service.  I get 15 gigs of 
data allowance for just 15 quid, half price as I've a three contract phone as 
well.  If you'd prefer to talk to me, please feel free to email me off list and 
I'll happily try and help by phone.

    All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu

      Hi Ibrahim, 

      Thanks for response! 

      Yes I have 3 Mobile Broadband which basically is more or less mobile 
broadband wherever you go in the country. 

      It's  a small USB modem which you just plug in and basically goes 
wherever you go if you wish! 

      Now the problem for me is that when I plug in the modem there is no way 
that I can find to activate the broadband. 

      There is an icon for a sighted person which I believe is 'connect but my 
Jaws 8 will not speak that for me. 

      Now somebody put a shortcut to it for me which worked for a while but not 
now! 

      Now that possibly is another matter, gremlins and that. 

      So basically I would like to know how to start up the 3 mobile broadband 
internet as a screen reader user? 

      Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. 

      I don't really want to return the product until I have explored all 
avenues. 

      Oh yes I did contact 3 but they didn't know the answer, sttrangely! 

      By the way I live in Dublin Ireland but the situation of 3 should be 
something the same as UK I reckon. 

       Tony

        Hi Tony.

        I'm on three and use their services without difficulty.  Please could 
you explain what you mean by three mobile?  Are you referring to the mobile 
broadband or the standard mobile service for making calls, sending text and 
multimedia messages etc.  I'd oblige you for further information.

          Hi all, 

          I have 3 mobile as a ttrial but I don't think that it is accessible! 

          It works when I get on board but to access the to get it going is a 
problem without sighted assist.  

          Anyone ideas on this? 



          I should say that I'm in Ireland but imagine that the setup should be 
something similar in the UK.Tony
