Hi Joan, what is a COBRA adapter? And, why do you need one if your telephone
is hands-free? Thanks, Dan T.

Hi Dana.
You are right, he has added quite a few things to his website. It is
interresting that the one set up can be used for an environmental control
system, using an X--10 system I presume. I have purchased his carrier for when
we go on vacation. Using it, I can be carried out into the water for swimming.
My phone system uses the Sony Ericsson 600 I Walkman, a Plantronics Voyager
Bluetooth, and a COBRA adapter from RadioShack. When I purchased it 15 months
ago, the entire set up with a two-year contract with Cingular was $165. I have
had absolutely no problems with it, and as he mentioned in his letter to you
Dana, Cingular is very disability friendly. I have the free voice dial, but did
not know about the free information. I will look into that. I really like my
system better for just a phone, because it is very un-obtrusive. I have a
telephone mounted on a flexible boom, which attaches to my chair, and a wire
that connects the cobra adapter to my chin controller. The Bluetooth is then
wireless of course. As he mentions in his letter, there is a bug with the Sony
Ericsson 600i, which turns off the voice capabilities, if there is a message
waiting. I use that bug all the time. To prevent me from making outgoing calls,
when I am in a very noisy place, I just have somebody dial my number and do not
answer the phone --voila, no mistaken outgoing calls. I just have somebody
click the phone button when I am ready to make outgoing calls.
I do not use a headrest on my chair so that flexing microphone would not
work for me. Just my opinion, but I do like my system better for just the phone.
I chose this Plantronics Bluetooth, because it is very unobtrusive, and it
stays in my ear, even when I am outside bumping around.
Have a great day. Joan

Dan T. and Joan ,
I don't know how similar this is to the set up Joan has.
I don't know what service is uses for sure. I thought previously it was
Cingular but I have not read his sites yet as I just got, but I wanted to share
with you and whoever else is interested in hands-free phones.
It looks like he has some new things to offer since I last looked at his
site and wrote to him and I don't know the prices yet.
Dana
