[Fabs] Special Type of phone

Fri Mar 7 01:17:12 UTC 2014

        Also, I forgot to tell you that I really didn't know that someone 
could join the FABS mailing list, or the FABS conference call meeting calls 
even though he or she is not blind. This info was actually new and a 
surprise to me! Thanks so much for the info! God bless! :)

Hi Paul and all, this is Helga! I just wanted to ask you, how can I make my
friend  join the next Conference call meeting from her home phone? I'm just
wondering, since I don't know if her home phone has the pound key in order
for her to put the code in. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks and God
bless!! :)

Greetings,
I hope we can help you find a solution. I believe the iPhone will be a great
choice, because if she is able to click the home button on the iPhone, she
will be able to send text messages emails check the weather and etc. also, I
would like to add from what Miranda stated. Remember you do not have to be
blind to join the Florida Association of blind students, I encourage you to
talk to your friend and have her join us in our next conference call. Hope
you the best of luck and God bless
