You can do this by hitting the number one key on your phone, and the call 
button, or you can dial your phone number in the call button. Will ask you for 
a password. If you don't remember what it is, you can go into settings and 
under phone it gives you an option to reset your password.

Hi Lori, when I have this happen, I normally just call my voicemail directly 
and listen to it that way. It's just much easier. But the destination picker, 
would allow you to tap on it, and choose the speakerphone if you want it.

FYI: The Second Time Around can be More Expensive on Amazon

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

After recently recommending the Emerson Sensi thermostat that I use for my
home via Home Kit, not knowing if Emerson is still making the model and
knowing how often products with hardware buttons can be discontinued, I
decided to purchase a second (backup) unit, just in case.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the price of the model had
increased by $25 since January of this year.

Just to confirm, I had a friend put the same model in her Amazon cart, on 2
different devices and the price was the same, $25 more than I originally
paid.

My point, if you like a product from Amazon and you think you may want to
purchase a second unit, do so sooner, rather than later, because the second
time around can be more expensive on Amazon.

Mark

VZ accessibility hotline was Anyone ever used a MIFI device?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi all,

Just in case anyone else ever needs to use this number, the person I spoke with 
was very nice, but not very knowledgeable.  Now admittedly, there’s probably 
less demand for info re Mifi devices, but every time I asked a question, she 
had to look up the answer.  I would have preferred to speak to someone who 
actually knew how these devices work.
Cheers,
Donna

 It looks like, with this particular device, in order to connect a device,
 you have to select it from a menu system on the display of the MIFI.  I

Re: Anyone ever used a MIFI device?

[Shai]

Verizon Wireless does have an accessibility phone number. I'd contact
them and see if there is a way that they can help with this.
Their number is (888)262-1999.

 Hello Donna,
 I have used a mifi device before. I'm not sure what you're trying to
 do, but if all you are trying to do is to get connected with it, then
 there should be a button to turn it on and the name/password of the
 device will be displayed on the screen.
 You could then use a visual interpretation service to glean that
 information to become connected with it. It is similar to connecting
 to any other wifi access point it is a wifi hotspot similar to your
 phone with a sim card or ESIM.

Re: Anyone ever used a MIFI device?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Cara,

Thanks so much for your messages and suggestions.  I suspect you are right, 
that it is a security measure, but it’s one I could do without. :) I contacted 
my employer to see if there is a less menu driven option, but it was the end of 
the day, so I haven’t heard back yet.  I think that if there isn’t a device I 
can operate without sighted assistance, I’m going to try and find another way 
of coping with our hopelessly inadequate ISP.

Thanks again for all your help.
Cheers,
Donna
