[Electronics-talk] cell phones

[Dhunthausen]

Kate,
Yes you can. I'm with Verizon, and they have a few phones that are blind 
friendly out of the box. The phones don't read text messages or any of the 
computer features, but they have voice feedback for entering contacts, 
looking up contacts, checking time, date, battery status, signal streanth, 
missed calls, and it even has talking caller I.D. I have the LG 8350 and 
really like it a lot. This is my second cell phone, but the first one that 
talks. Feel free to e-mail me privately if you have any questions.
