Unfortunately I didn't pay much attention to >them because I was very happy with my simple phone that allowed me to make and >receive calls. I figured my phone was getting the job done and if it ever >broke, I'd just replace it with the same model of phone. Well, my phone is so >old that they don't make them any more. > >On Friday, I spilled a large amount of water on my phone. For some strange >reason, it didn't like that. It's time to bury this phone and move into the >21st century and get a new phone. > >My question is what types of phones are out there that have the following >qualities. > >1. My contract is with A T & T, so need a phone that will work with that >service provider. > >2. I need a phone that is very blind friendly to use such as buttons that are >pretty easy to distinguish apart from each other and a phone that has a >"voice" that is easy to understand. > >3. I am thinking about getting a phone that will allow me to text and serf the >web. I've never had a phone that does that ... I've just had this phone that I >use to make and receive calls on. > >4. I have a lot of music, audio books and other audio files on my computer so >I'd like a phone that is easy to connect to my computer and transfer .mp3, >.wav and other audio files on and off of. I don't want to mess with I-Tunes, >so I guess a phone that has just a music player or some kind of .mp3 player on >it. My computer uses JAWS 8 and 10, I switch back and forth depending on if >I'm using some older programs I have on the computer. I also use XP Pro and >Internet explorer 7. > >5. Basically a phone that is VERY blind friendly and isn't too expensive. In >the past, A T & T has made some of their phones available at a lower cost when >I've renewed my contract with them. > >I hope this email isn't too vague about what I want. > >Thanks for any help you can give me. > >Ken Hopkins >[email protected] >For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: >http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
