Hi Richard, Thank you for this lead. I will check into it. It might be just what she can manage.

A coworker got their home wifi device, and has really liked it since it is a lot less than the cable rip-off companies. It isn't as fast, but it works well and I think she pays less than $30 a month. It basically uses the cell network, but provides a wifi hotspot. Their site is less than screen reader friendly, but might be worth looking into. Then an iPod would work.

An acquaintance of mine with multiple disabilities including coordination can't afford DSL or cable Internet for WIFI. I am looking into other solutions. Would an iPhone work better for using a cell plan for email and Internet? This person has cell phone service for another type of phone that is easier to use for phone calls and messages for her. But she can do flicks, double taps, and could learn other iOS gestures. She could also get on a friend's family plan for cell service and could afford that. I am thinking that an older model cell phone (5C or 5S) might be the most affordable. But an iPod might work as a solution if the iPod can use the cell network. Thanks for your thoughts.
