Hi Billy. This has already been talked about, but I find that Alex beats any of the high quality or compact Vocalizer Expressive voices. Some say that he sounds distorted, but I don't have that problem. My volume for Voiceover and the phone in general is about the same so no distortion here.

Re: to upgrade my iPhone 5 to IOS8.1 or not

That was a very negative statement. Yes, iOS 8.1 has a few lingering bugs, but for me I can live with them. As others have stated on this list, whether to upgrade or not depends on a person's comfort level and statements like what Mario wrote down aren't constructive at all. Shawn Sent From My

Hi Andrew. I agree with Sieghard about getting a 5S. I know with myself when I got my 5S, I was only getting $60 for my 4S. I wanted a 32 GB 5S but I settled for 16 because it was only $100 so I only had to pay about $40 for it plus $15 for the sim card from Telus. As for processors, I'm not a

Hi Billy. If you set touch ID to unlock your phone, then yes this is normal. However, I think you can flick up with one finger for more options, and one option should be reply. If you double tap on that, it should give you an on-screen keyboard where you can send the message. If I'm wrong about

Hi Misty. First off, no carrier sells the iPhone 5 anymore, it's either the 5C or 5S. The 5C is free if you get a contract, but personally I'd recommend the 5S if you can afford the $100 price tag. Not only does the 5S let you download Alex and all that other cool stuff, but the camera is far

Are you talking about iOS 8.1.2? If so, it seems like they've definitely fixed the bug where touch tones sometimes weren't audible, which is good for me since I don't always hold my finger on the number I want to press and therefore Voiceover doesn't speak the number I'm about to type. Shawn
