Hi,

If you are a member of the NFB, you get a discount from T Mobile and when you activate your service from them, There is no activation fee and it is saving us about eighty to one hundred dollars for two lines versus AT&T.  You also get free android phones per line.

The phones vary from promotion to promotion, but you can try a thirty day trial of code factory to see if it meshes with you and the phone and whether you like it and you get thirty days to try the phone to decide whether it is excessible so if it isn't, you can send it back and use your existing phone.

Mobile Accessibility is nice since you get a set of accessible applications as part of the bundle, so you don't have to go looking for accessible 3rd party applications. Maybe you can save yourself that $100 for Mobile Accessibility. I also know that AT&T, Sprint and others offer a deal on Mobile Accessibility for Android. You might want to see if T-Mobile does something similar.

I can get a better deal period on both lines with T Mobile spending 100 dollars less per months versus AT&T.  The only thing that will stink is that I'd have to pay for that code factory thing, but I'm getting the phones for free and I'm going to be the only one using the one phone so I'll only have to pay for it once.

If not, you're probably going to pay a $200 or so early termination fee to do that and that doesn't make sense because you're paying two carriers when one is expensive enough.  The answer to the second part of your question is that there are 3 apps you need for an android phone talk back call back and check back all of which are free.  The other app you need is from code factory and is $99 and that gives you access to the contact list battery istatus and call log.
