Hi Simon,
What have the RNIB achieved so far in the challenge to this issue? I'm not
implying that they haven't. I just want to know more.
Best,
Clive

after I had my issue, I did make sure it got well known that these problem
devices were creeping in to places, and the issue did actually get taken on
board by RNIB.

Hi Jo
Yes I agree, that amount of cash is not a good idea to carry around. I
still think that if we offer to use a debit or credit card by the usual
means, and the shop doesn't accept it, then the onus is on them to make
their service accessible. I wonder if Which? have done anything about this?
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Cash is probably ok for a meal unless you haven't been able to get to a
service till but I was in an Apple Store and their keypad was completely
flat so I couldn't use it. It took me by surprise and needless to say I
didn't have £700 in cash on me!

Or, better still, why not take some cash?

Iain,
That is correct, the speech is silenced, audible clicks are still there and
the screen curtain provides privacy.

That turns speech off but leaves VoiceOver still running. The screen Curtain
is a function of VoiceOver.

Hi,
Don't know how easy this would be, sometimes I turn voice over off
with a double triple tap, this keeps screen curtain on and you can
press the buttons if you listen for the "clicks" working from the
bottom up you can go up the center; 0 8 5 2 and locate the side
numbers too. I know it isn't a perfect option, just trying to get a
was accessible.
Kindest,

Not practical
For example, on older touch screen devices, you could use ordinary
headphones.
On more recent ones, they have a bespoke connector

Hi,
Would it be an idea to keep a set of earphones handy and ensure the
screen curtain is on when entering details?
Kindest,

This is an issue I came across some time ago in a local take out. I
told them the problems, and gave them advice. we came to an
arrangement about payment with an app the shop used, they refunded me
the standing charge for the app if I used that to place order, as the
app
issue to warrant it.

Hello all,

It has come to the attention of members of another list, that some
restaurants and shops are no longer offering chip and PIN machines
when the time comes to pay the bill. Instead, people are being
presented with an IPad belonging to the service provider organisation,

In one case reported, the customer felt they had no alternative but to
divulge their PIN number to a member of staff. I've seen this in my
mobile phone service provider outlet in town. Has anyone here ever
been embarrassed or frustrated when given an inaccessible piece of

the issue into the light and campaign for change. Yes, I know that
IPads are accessible, but you wouldn't want to turn voiceover on, on
someone else's IPad in an open plan restaurant, and have it announce
your personal details to the world at large as you type. At my Phone
