[nabs-l] iPhone help

Wed Dec 26 02:03:24 UTC 2012

FaceTime will work with voiceover on the iPhone, but it sounds very crackly when used in conjunction with each other.

Come to think of it, I have helped my brother with his iPhone over FaceTime.

I just don't think this combination is the perfect solution to helping someone learn the phone.
