[Electronics-talk] Accessible phones and T-mobile

[mail.att.yahoo.com]

Dear Jenny:

Whatever you decide to do is up to your own ideas.
Nonetheless, just because a phone service or piece of phone hardware is not
perfect does not make it asinine.
If you want to look at it from another perspective, when has anything been
perfect for anybody who is disabled?
Advances in technological accessibility was due to the imperfections and
feedbacks over time.

Also, what unfortunately happens too often is that companies put new hires
to work with minimal training and then have the new recruits learn as they
work.
The "perfection" of technology is as "perfect" as those who create that
technology.
Nevertheless, having alternatives is what makes what we do in the world
around us flexible to our own liking.
It would be interesting to discuss this topic further, but to keep from
going off topic, I will end my part of the discussion here.

C.C. Alan

that's wonderful, but the whole idea of the NFB discount and such is that
you can get, supposedly a free phone with activation.  

If you are supposed to have that option, they aught to have some phones that
are accessible in the free relm and if they are working with the NFB, they
aught to know at least which phones have directional pads and qwerty
keyboards.  It doesn't take a genous to read the specs on the phones when
asked about them.  

I could go to the T mobile store, but if I get a phone from there, they
probably won't be free, and if I wanted to purchase a phone, I'd stick with
AT&T and upgrade to an I phone 4S, which is what I've decided to do.

the phone then that will work. The only downside to this is the phone is
expensive. Sometimes you can ask people if they are selling useed nokia
phones that are unlocked for T-mobil. Sometimes A t an T phones can be
unlocked to be used with T-mobil.

purchased through Michael Hingson, he asked me what my cell service was and
I told himn it was T-mobil. When I inserted my symcard it automatically saw
that it was setup for T-mobil.
