>> Hi,
>>
>> I'll make this short and sweet y'all.  My girlfriend just got Verizon
>> service.  I wouldn't mind getting it myself; but, running in to
>> problems.
>>
>> I went to:
>> www.accessiblephones.com
>> or something like that and called Verizon and ran down the list of
>> phones that were said to be compatible with Verizon service.  None of
>> the phones I asked about were available.  The only phone they said they
>> had was the LG5500 which they said did not speak in any way nor have any
>> accessible features.  As for their so-called disability department for
>> Wireless, they appear to have done away with that.  I waisted an entire
>> hour of my time this morning trying to find information and discovered
>> that I really found out nothing.  If anybody out there can properly
>> direct me as to phones which Verizon offers now and which do have
>> accessibility built in or else support Talks or Mobile speak, I'd
>> appreciate it.  Thanks.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>> The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray
