[Blindtlk] cell phone problems and question

[Beverly Hunter]

Hi Sarah, unfortunately I saw this message late, but every Tuesday I have an 
iPhone discussion conference for new users and for people who are thinking 
about getting an iPhone. For my experience, I think it is the best thing 
since sliced bread, but that it just my opinion. Being able to go into a 
store, purchase a phone and to have it accessible right out of the box was 
fantastic! No more buying a separate screenreader to make the phone work for 
me. If you are available on Saturday, April 21, at 6:00 PM Eastern, I host 
another iPhone conference where a few newbies come in. I would like to 
invite you. The number to call is 616-883-2999 followed by pound, and the 
room number is 2428.  Anyone is welcome.
