Hi Gigi, That sounds like a nightmare for sure! I think I’ll wait awhile to do a reset of my phone! I would, of course, love to be able to pair it with my Braille Edge, but it isn’t the highest priority for me, or really even why I got the Braille Edge. I do still have AppleCare on my phone, so could call for help if and when I decide to do it! Thanks again so much for your help!
