Ann, if your client can find the lg exaltflip that would be wonderful. As far as the kyozera phones, the cadence and the dura xv, and the lg exalt, to me anyway, as far as accessibility and how these phones operate, the lg exalt is designed so well the way it works in some of the features of the phone which I could explain off list to you or anyone else. It's my favorite phone. The 3 phones I mentioned here are all verizon phones and are all 4g phones, so your client would be able to use them fine. To give you an idea about the prices of the flip phones that verizon has, The dura xv, if she finds the newer dura xv it costs $240 I was told by a verizon customer service individual. The other dura xv that's also 4 g that's been out for at least 2 or 3 years which is 4g costs $264. The cadence which I have is $120, and the exalt costs $144. The cadence is sold at some stores, such as walmart and target as a prepaid phone which in that case it costs about $30. There's another phone called the etalk that came out last august, it's a flip phone and if you get it as a prepaid it's about $25. I'm not sure how much the etalk is as a postpaid phone. The etalk is interesting, it's on an android operating system, and the text to speech's voice is the same voice used for talkback I think it is, though it's a basic flip phone. I just want to point out, for anyone that hasn't explored a flip phone in about 4 to 6 years, these phones, while not smart phones quite, they are more advanced than before. For example the lg exalt and the kyozera flip phones have email that you could set up,. The only drawback and I don't know if it's just me and I don't know what to do about it or if it's just the way it is, you can't read the body of the message. You could hear the header, and if a link is in the body of the message you could hear that too, and what's neat is you could press the center button and it will take you on the browser to the web site. I know this isn't the phone list for flip phones so I apologize for all these details, but I just wanted to tell you a bit about the etalk. You can text with the etalk, though it doesn't have a section for email. and since verizon is a verizon phone, the options in the area for texting and for the notepad, while they aren't labeled, you could easily figure out what the numbered option is. I would have to go to the phone to make sure I tell you these options right, but you'll get the idea with this example. When you press the left soft key the options are just numbered, such as number 1 option is for lower case letters number 2 option is for upper case number 3 option is for numbers and number 4 option is for symbols If your client likes to text, then any of these phones would be fine for her. The well known phone the alcatel doesn't speak the symbols so that wouldn't be good for anyone that likes to text. There's a newer model of alcatel for verizon that I haven't seen yet so I don't know if it's like the alcatel phones that I have, one was a prepaid from at&t and I can't remember what the other carrier was for the other phone. So possibly the newer one is set up better with the text to speech. Again I'm sorry to go into such detail about these phones, here's my email address if anyone has any new information about the newer alcatel or if anyone has any questions about the phones I mentioned, my email address is [email protected] I meant to mention I haven't figure out how to label those option buttons in the etalk but at least you could figure out what they are. And the sad thing is about my very favorite phone, the lg exalt, even though it's a 4g phone verizon has retired the phone and is no longer selling it, but I've found at times you could still find these phones in the stores that have been retired by the carrier.
