[Blindtlk] Directory Assistance???

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Mike and everyone,

    The same here. With us this is a fish not on the menu to fry. If you 
have access to a computer you can always access the White and Yellow Pages 
online, or obtain the phone numbers of establishments you wish to contact 
via their Web sites. You can also purchess phone directory software giving 
you a "Phonebook" on your computer. I'm not sure if it's still around but 
there was a product called "Phone Disk" back in the mid 90s we used to use. 
Again today there are multiple ways to obtain directory assistance without 
using the traditional directory assistance and there's no need to make a 
major issue out of it based on blindness alone.

I always believed that blindness was no reason to try to get out of paying
411 charges. This is especially true now that printed telephone directories
are on the wane. But even before that, I figured I should pay for the
service just as I pay for some road repair even though I don't drive a motor
vehicle.

Different strokes, etc.

Mike

Also, adding to what Mark says, if you are a client of an agency for the
blind, you can also get an agency staff member to sign off on the
application.
