[Electronics-talk] ADVICE ON PHONE PURCHASE

[Baracco, Andrew W]

Verizon Wireless offers the Samsung Haven.  Many features such as caller
ID, contact list, things like battery status, and I believe, text
messages speak.  Email and web do not speak.  it is a rather large
clamshell type phone, and it appears to be designed for people with
disabilities. It is not a smart phone.

Subject: [Electronics-talk] ADVICE ON PHONE PURCHASE

Hi all! I have been reading some of the messages on this list and I feel
that someone is able to give me suggestions about the best kind of phone
to purchase and with what service.
Right now I have one of those government assisted phones which does
nothing but send and receive calls (when the minutes are still
available), voice-mail and text messages I cannot read.  
So! I would really apsreciate some advice.  Is Verizon a good service to
have? FiOs is my current internet and TV service.
I've known a couple of blind folk with phones from them but I don't
remember what features they used on them.
I have used the LG brands from Sprint.  The last one I had read most
messages and allowed me to send tomorrow, announceed names and numbers
but I still didn't feel it provided the type of accessibility I wanted.
