Ah yes, that's another can of worms. I can use it with system speech from the

paragraph per chapter in Braille, but i can read the entire chapter with system

Same here. I use the touchscreen nearly full time on both iPhone and

I halfway agree. But, before we go off banishing those who are stubborn and
resistant to change, let's remember that blindness is not the only disability

I agree with you, Ricardo. I use a Braille display about half the time and the
touchscreen the other half. If I can meander off and speculate here, I really
think that a keyboard on a touchscreen is just a transitional input method,
because it really isn't as efficient a method as it could be.
Actually, it is better if Apple receives several email, one from each person,
rather than one collective email.

For most people this is a perfectly reasonable solution until the minor bug is
addressed. For a minority with different usage needs or a lower tollerence to
imperfection however this is of high importance. If a keyboard or Braille
display is used a distance from the I device for example moving

As I have not experienced what you are talking about, I would suggest you take
the iPhone to either an Apple Store or mobile carrier store and show them what
is going on. That is definitely a strange situation.
The steps I would take are: First, reboot the phone by turning it off and then
on.
Ray, only way I see to get around it is to start writing name of the person and
then all numbers will show up. However you are correct. It sure does enter the
home number if you go into contacts and tap on iPhone number.

Hi,
One thing to keep in mind is that messages will refuse to choose a contact
option that can't receive a message.
Is the mobile number an iPhone? If not, you might check in settings whether or
not you have sending sms turned off.
If you know that the number in question is an iPhone but the

David, I use mbraille so not a problem for me, but I tried putting in the cell
number from contacts and it went back to the screen to start typing my text.

It's not funny but rather one of the advantages we have over the sighted with
Bluetooth. It may not last but then again a trend to have a device docked and
use peripherals might mean our and the sighted wants may match up.
