Hello Kathy:

The keys to using your cell phone with the BrailleNote family are A> its
ability to act like a modem (Which most modern cells can do), B> the ability
to find and connect a serial cable to the phone  and C> to be able to find a
serial cable that will work between the BrailleNote and your particular cell
phone.

I found mine by plugging my cell phone's manufacturer and model number into
Google and then looking for a site with accessories for it. I had to call
several 800 numbers to find the right company.   There are lots of USB
cables out there, but you'll need a 9 pin serial cable with whatever
connector exists on the phone.

After that, it's just a matter of setting up the correct settings in the
Directory Of Services on the BrailleNote.  I used this type of setup to
travel across the country a couple of years ago and was very pleased with
it. It's much easier than trying to use infra red while in a moving car.
If your not using GPRS, then you'll want to make sure you have a good strong
cell signal when doing a data call.   Let me know if I can give you any more
information.
