Re: friend gets a new phone tomorrow, want a refresher on first steps
Scott, thanks very much. I don’t think his hearing aid is that advanced, but I’ll check.

The aids do need to be Bluetooth capable to interact with the phone. My understanding is that the audio would them be routed to them. Hope this helps a little.

A friend named Ken gets one tomorrow, but he’s 500 miles away and doesn’t have email, twitter, etc. So communication not using a phone is limited. He is totally blind and has some hearing loss, almost no hearing in one ear in fact. Here are my questions as best as I can think of them: 1. In the Sprint store, they can get vo running, put some contacts in, etc. The things Ken has to do still are get an email address, subsequently set up an Apple ID, synch his phone, etc. What order must he do these things in? Does he have to use iTunes? If not, what can he do? He will have limited help there, no one with full vision, and Ken just is not tech savvy. He’s getting the iPhone mostly for Siri, to have access to texts, email, and the Internet. His friends that live with him have a computer, but he doesn’t use it, doesn’t use JAWS. 2. What do the hearing options in accessibility do? If I need to clarify anything, let me know. Thank you. Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
