[nabs-l] iphone problem

Sun Oct 14 02:30:26 UTC 2012

I don't think you will need to call ahead. Just ask the person you get
at the Apple store to go into settings, general, accessibility, and
turn voiceover on. I didn't call ahead when I got my iPhone at our
local Verizon store. I just asked the guy to turn voiceover on for me.
He didn't know how to do it but once I showed him how he was able to
do it easily. It's pretty easy to get to. Hope this helps! Good luck!
