[nabs-l] Accessible Cellphone Help

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Frandanda,
This is helpful because I'm looking for a verizon phone that's more 
accessible.  Mine talks a little but does not enable text messaging or 
reading menus of missed calls.  Did you have to pay for a talking 
synthesizer like Talks to enable it to speak?  Or maybe you just bought the 
phone.  Will this phone read you the menus about your calls like missed and 
recieved calls.
What model phone is this?

Thanks.
Ashley
