[Electronics-talk] accessible phone for verizon

[Sandy]

Ashley,

My elderly friend just got some sort of LG phone from Verizon and her 
daughter is showing her how to use the accessible features.  I don't know 
all it can do, but it speaks more than my LG5400 which they no longer sell. 
My friend is doing things she didn't do with the Haven, though maybe it had 
the same capabilities.
