I agree with Vapour here. I have Qwest, and they have always given me free long-distance, on my cell phone and land line alike. Just ask, and they'll get you to the right place.
Every other phone company that I've talked to offers similar exemptions for blind people. Of course, with most telephone information available on the Internet nowadays, phone numbers are usually just a quick search away. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vapour Wiseblood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 1:27 PM Subject: Re: audyssey: Fw: For everyone who can't read the Phone Book! > Yes, I'm sure, or I wouldn't have posted this message.
