Welcome, Paulette, here is a subscribe link which may work for you to be able to subscribe to a VI phones group. You might also go to http://www.applevis.com and have a look around there, lots of interesting stuff. Also, very shortly an updated book Getting Started with the Iphone will be available from National Braille Press. I'm sure folks will post when the updated version becomes available. Now for the subscribe link. If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll find another one for you.
