Mike, is it possible to get your friend to your local or state center for people who are blind and visually impaired? Such a facility could evaluate your friend with hands on evaluations for the various options.

Maybe now when I read her these messages she'll change her mind. She uses a Revere cell phone that she would for phone calls, but like all of you, I feel the iPhone would be her best option! Phoning, texting, dictation, she would have it all, but I can't speak for her, & I don't know just how limited her hand useage is. Thanks again for all your input. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, April 9, 2018 6:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPad Questions Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow you to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range. You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a call, again if the iPhone is in range. But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype. As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

A friend is blind with hand dexterity problems, & was told by others not to get the large iPad, but to get the midsize or small iPad. From doing a little research you can get these iPads with WiFi or with WiFi & cellular. If we get her one with WiFi & celular will she be able to make phone calls with the iPad? Do the mini iPads have dictation for texting & emailing like the iPhones? When we buy her this iPad does it matter who we buy it from, i.e, should we buy it from her cell carrier, Apple or other wise...? All input will be gratefully accepted & greatly appreciated. Thank y'all very much. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.
