Well the LG line of phones does support text messaging. The LGVX 9100 better known as the Envi 2 supports this. It will read aloud any messages you receive. There is a newer model called the LGVX 8600, but don't know what kinds of features it has yet. And no you don't have to change providers. If you are interested in texting, you of course need to upgrade your plan to an unlimited texting one or one that allows a certain amount of texts you can send per month. The plan my wife has up to 500 text messages per month. HTH.

Lino, What are you telling me? Do I need to change cell phone providers? do I need to change phones? In short what do I need to do to obtain an accessible cell phone that will allow me total access to the phone as well as text message capabilities? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lino Morales Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 6:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Cell phone confusion. Larry, First of all, welcome to the Verizon family once the merger is 100 percent done that is. Well, there are 2 software packages for cell phones that are accessible. The Talks program and Mobile speak program. These to opperate on the GSM network which Altel has and runs on phones that run the Simbian operating system. Now Verizon and Sprint run on the CDMA network. None of the above will work with CDMA. LG does make a few models of somewhat accessible phones. Hope this helps.

Hi folks, I am an all tel subscriber and would like to know what if any of the speech accessible phones and software packages are available on their network. I really don't understand the nexus between hardware and network capability. My pea brain tells me that if for example a particular phone is accessible on one network it should be accessible on all networks, this however does not appear to be the case. Any help you folks can provide in untangling this mess would be greatly appreciated. BTW What the hell is an unlocked phone and should I care?
