[nabs-l] Cell phone question

[Jim Reed]

Hey all, 

I am wondering what cell phones are out there for low vision folks, and where to get them? I don't need anything that talks or has a Braille display. Essentially I just need a phone with large print buttons, and a large display screen that displays larger print.

I prefer a land line, and I really don't use my cell phone all that often, mostly just on vacation or calling a cab from campus. As such, I don't have a cell phone contract, I use a pay as you go plan. Are there any ac cessable phones that can be used with a pay as you go plan?

Does anyone have an old phone that would work for me that they no longer need or use, and that they would be willing to sell for cheap? As I said, I don't want or need anything fancy.

Thanks,
Jim
