[Electronics-talk] The iPhone

[Shannon Cook]

Hi,

I had a similar problem a few years ago.  I went into the store and explained to a rep that the phone I had was not accessible to me as a blind individual, as far as texting and using other features of the phone.  I asked if I could upgrade to a Haven with the understanding that I would willingly extend the contract. They let me upgrade and only charged me the two year price.  This was with Verizon, so they may have more flexibility.  In any event, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Good morning Everyone,
I have a question about a teenage, legally blind friend, who at Christmas time got an inaccessible phone from AT&T, and the only thing he can do with it is text and send and received calls.
His sighted brother got an iPhone. My question is, will my friend have to wait till the contract runs its course to get an accessible phone? or does anyone have a better option?
Any help you can give is appreciated.
Cordially,
Frida
