Hi, for accessible phones that is as close to completely accessible you
would need to get a phone to put Talks on this would be a Simmons base phone
and you would need to more than likely use AT&T or T-Mobile. The other
software to go on phones to make them mostly completely accessible is Mobile
speak. This will go on Simmons and any Windows base smart phone or pocket
PC/PDA phones. You can use any carrier with a windows base phone that you
get from that carrier. The other phone that is completely accessible out of
the box is the new apple I phone. The Apple I phone will have to be used on
the AT&T network. The Apple I phone has a big learning curve to it also. I
have the BJ2(blackjack2) and the I phone. They no longer make the BJ2 but
they make a model that took the place of it. Both of these software will
cost you some money. About 300 bucks. Now you can get it from AT&T with a 2
year contract for 89 bucks for Mobile speak if you choose from their list of
phones. If you need more info on mobile speak I can help with this. I think
Chip is the Talks man with Simmons phones. Apple I phone has it own screen
reader built in so no extra cost their. Now if you are looking for phone
with much less accessibility you can look at the Lg's I think this is from
ALLTEL and Verizon. I hopes this helps some and get you started. Let me know
if I can help any more.
Thanks,

Hi Chip - please excuse my ignorance, or lack or research but I have some
questions: I believe I am a member of this Tabi list but do not know how to
access the list and start a new thread. Maybe the thread is not appropriate
or has already been covered or you could refer me to other pertinent
information. I frequently hear the Sansung commercial that I think features
a visually impaired woman and her dog, and a phone that fantastically meets
her needs for voice emails, etc. I will be in the market for a new
cellphone and would like to know what is available for the needs of the
visually impaired. I currently use Verizon and have not had problems but
could change providers if necessary. Thanks for any help you may give me.
Hope all is well with you. Norine

I haven't done it yet; do you still have to pay for and download an
authorization token before you can listen to a book?
thanks.
