[Electronics-talk] The iPhone

[Philip Blackmer]

I am hesitant to ask, but why did his brother get a Iphone, but not him?  If
you are looking for a phone that can be bought and used right out of the box
here is one site that might help.

I can't guarantee that it will have anything he would like, but it is a
place to start looking. - Philip

I believe it is a family plan. A mistake was made because nobody knew about 
accessibility. They still don't!
