But, if the user learns about their device and how it works, they
should know how to reenable speech if it gets disabled.
Original message:
I think we all are looking at this the completely wrong way! Look at it
from this point of view, you're able to dial 611 from your phone,
because somehow you disabled speech on your iPhone. However, in the
current time, if we dialed 611 and STA just how we would be able to
enable speech on our iOS device again, they might ask us what we are
talking about, or transfer us around to a myriad of different
individuals who still don't know what we're talking about. However, if
a blind person is able to pick up his phone, dial 611, and receive
assistive technology assistance, this might be more beneficial to him.
In addition, there are several smaller carriers out there, especially
running on the T-Mobile network, like this one appears to do. Just
something to think about, imagine being able to call customer service,
and getting assistance using jaws to read that bill, or voiceover, on
your new iPhone especially if you're brand-new customer.

We really don't, especially with the out of box accessibility that is
provided by IOS and Android. There's simply no need for specialty phones.
Original message:
Does anyone know anything about these phones or this project? Seems
pretty pointless if you want more than just a phone, and the full range
of experiences available to the sighted on any mobile carrier. Why on
earth do we need a special phone carrier? Separate and marginalized,
rather than expecting to be included in available services.
