[nabs-l] Accessible phone

[Serena Cucco]

Hey all,

I've heard that you can use the BrailleNote Apex as a Braille display and
typing method when texting using at least some accessible phones.  Does
anybody know if this applies to all of them or only the phones with adaptive
tech software installed on them?

Thanks,
Serena

Is the Gusto a smart phone that requires a data plan?

I also have a question about the Haven. The people who I have observed
with the Haven have had the volume up. Other people could hear what
the phone was saying. I know that sometimes in simpler phones, turning
the sound down to a level where one has to put the phone up to their
ear to hear the voice is not an option, so I was curious if it is in
the Haven.

Thanks

Cindy
