Speaking of Skype, I used it several years ago on the computer but have forgotten almost all I know about it. My nephew wants to use it to save his cell minutes and I have it on my phone. I got an e-mail saying my user name is "rosecombsrose" without the quotes but, I tried to get in and everything except online status is disabled or so it appears to me. On the computer I had menus, on the phone have people, recent, phone and profile at the bottom. I am not sure I filled in that info or not but it wants a picture, and due to my lack of camera ability, or anything photo related except how to get rid of the pictures I took of the desk or my fingers, I have no clue how to take the picture or how to upload it from phone or computer to where it needs to go. I have read a couple of iPhone books on photos but... to me it is like reading a foreign language.
Websites, manuals, etc much appreciated, it is current turned off and out of the app switcher so do not try to contact me on Skype, somehow I do not think that will work yet even if it were on. I could put it on the computer, but when I plug in my USB headset my computer thinks I added something and Jaws is freaked out, not interested in losing another key and I don't want to sign up for my banking again which happened last time I tried the earphones. Using iPhone 4s, latest IOS 6.11.3, latest Skype which updated a few days ago, computer HP Pavilion, Windows 7, Jaws 14 latest, too many numbers to wrap my head around. Have access to SA also, no NVDA, tried it for an afternoon, hated the original voice, did not want to pay for voices because I did not understand the program all that well and did not have time to devote to learning it. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, May 31, 2013 12:22 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Some good news for potential and existing Viber users! Hi Chris, Could you explain why I might want to use Viper instead of Skype? Skype is fully accessible, I can do Skype-to-Skype voice or video calls, instant messaging or, if I have Skype credit, use it for relatively inexpensive international calls or sending SMS messages to some countries is also cheaper than using the regular carrier's text messages. In the latest version switching from earpiece or headphone to speakerphone is even easier and just requires a single double tap. I'm interested in finding out if Viper offers something Skype doesn't.

Good evening all I have great news for potential and existing Viber users. Calling a contact on Viber is absolutely a breeze. I called a friend from messages we have exchanged. Although the call didn't go through (after ten times the call will end), he did at least get a notification to say he had an incoming call. So he rung me back using the recents tab of Viber, which absolutely resembles the recents tab of the phone app, so no problem there! He opened Viber by double tapping on the above notification. Anyway, I then got an incoming call, but because Viber was in the app switcher, it was just a case of double tapping on the app then double tapping on the answer button. By the way, nice ring tone they have! Using headphones along with the phone's mike, the call went very smoothly. Quality was excellent. No breakups or drop outs, someting familiar with cellular calls, and I was even able to activate the speaker by double tapping on the speaker button! I was also able to end the call with a double tap of the end button. Not sure if two finger double tap works here to both answer and end a call. So as you can see, calling with Viber is very accessible and easy to do. But may I suggest you wear headphones as you could inadvertently activate the phone when using the earpiece. Also, may I suggest you either mute speech with a three finger double tap or turn VoiceOver off altogether with the triple click home method if you have that set. I found this out the hard way when VoiceOver blasted out a notification through my headphones. Lol! Anyway, hope this is useful. Just submitted this guide to Applevis.
