Hi, I've been struggling to find the easiest telephone solution for a PC for years, and, except for Emergency 911, service, the best solution (because it is the cheapest and pretty accessible), is Skype. With Skype, you can buy a local phone number on which people can call you locally for free in many countries, and for calling land and cell phones, you can buy a pretty cheap calling package.
In Canada and the U.S., it's three dollars a month for unlimited calling, and, if you bought such a package, you can buy a phone number for 35 annually. I say Skype is the best solution since it is owned by Microsoft, and so they at least have some commitment to accessibility, and the screen reader companies are bound to be able to influence them to continue to make it accessible. Feel free to contact me directly for more help. Good luck, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Micallef Michael at MITA via Talk Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2015 12:40 AM To: 'cov...@ccs.covici.com'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: X-Lite softphone is it accessible? Please may I ask if this soft-phone you are using can support and handle a compatible voice/data modem that works with windows 8.1? I am asking because I have a friend of mine that using the pc by means of a mouth piece and she needs a software that can handle voice/data modem to answer standard telephone calls through her pc. Her existing system supports only windows xp and I did not manage to find something suitable for her that supports windows 8.1. Any help is appreciated. michael -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+michael.micallef=gov...@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of via Talk Sent: 18 February 2015 05:48 To: joseph weakland Cc: Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: X-Lite softphone is it accessible?
