[access-uk] Re: easy to operate mobile phone

Hi Gerry,

There are 2 possible options:

the Easy5 has no speech and just 5 large buttons, each with a pre-programmed 
number of the user's choice.  The phone Costs around £106.  But without 
speech, obviously no sending or receiving of text messages.

the other is the Owaasys (not sure of spelling) sold by RNIB at £300.  This 
has been specifically designed and has wider spaced keys and speech.  I 
think it uses the makers speech system and voice, which although may not be 
the clearest at first, is OK when you get used to it.

Give the resource centre a call?

Good luck,

Ray
