Hi Derek,
You can play this a number of ways.
You can e-mail their head office, and simply say that you have seen it on their
web page at [URL] and ask if it is still available. That would be my own first
choice.
Or, you could say that as you have been told by a member of the UK staff that
it is no longer available, and as it is on their web page at [URl], does this
mean it is not being sold in the UK, or what?
George.

Hi George
What I said in first email on this thread, is what I was told, by the UK
General manager.
I quote:
"Regarding the DBC, as we are unable to source the component parts anymore,
very reluctantly we have had to recently discontinue the DBC."
Regartds, Derek

Derek,
Why not e-mail the Humanware address given in that web page
(info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and ask them?
George.

Strangely this link

ions/apex_communicator_package
Seems to be what I was looking for.
Strange that Humanware told me not available.

Subject: [access-uk] DBC (DEAFBLIND COMMUNICATION)
The General manager UK, Human ware, just made me aware
that as Humanware unable to source the component parts anymore,
very reluctantly they have had to recently discontinue the DBC.
So what is or was DBC?
The package consisted of a Braille note, a mobile phone and key chat
software, on the Braille note.
The benefits for deafblind Braille users were:
Use Braille for the sending and receiving of text messages.
using the mobile phone, the deafblind user was able to communicate with
hearing people face to face.
The hearing person uses the mobile phone and the deafblind person would
read, (on Braille note) what the hearing person types in, on the mobile.
As this is not texting, no text allowance is used. So the deafblind
person doesn't need to give out his or her number, for face to face chat.
