2013-05-25 Thread Cris Ali
Hello folks, I am finding it strange that when I turn my celular data off, I do not get voicemail. I am using ATT. Is this supposed to be normal? or is there a setting I am missing somewhere? The minute I turn my celular data back on, I get all of the voicemail messagess that have been left

Hi Sieghard. Fair enough. I also hope you knew I was mainly teasing you. The bottom line is that no matter what each of us do, blind or sighted, to some we will look like nerds or freaks. What I like seeing is a sweet little 85 year old lady texting and talking on her bluetooth headset. Now,

Hi, just a small correction about the Plantronics. The M50, M55, M155 and M165 are earbud like in that they go inside the ridge, but not all the way like an earbud. The M50 at least cannot change the size of the bud which goes on your ridge, but is the most comfortable ear plug I've seen. it's

Chuck, I don't think it is just you with the Nook app. My husband has an actual Nook and an Android device with a Nook app, and he has complained for quite some time about the Nook not synching. I use the Nook appexclusively on my iPad, so I haven't tried any synching with the phone. Mary

Hi Kevin, where have you heard that iOS has any limits on playback speed of an audio file? to my knowledge there are no Apple-imposed limits on how fast you can process / play an audio file. Some of the built-in audio classes have limits but there are many ways to play audio on iOS as well as

I'm not sure there is an actual 'limit' on this. this seems to depend on the method the developer chooses to use to process and play audio. I'm hoping someone will send a link / more info on this as my experience does not confirm any such limit. Perhaps this has changed recently?… HTH Cara

I do not think there is a plan without cellular data. I know when I bought my first iPhone, I had to buy a data package. I do not have a messaging plan, but that was not required. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze any tie ping or spelin airors. On May 25, 2013, at 4:31 PM, Cris Ali
