[nabs-l] accessible phones

Thu Sep 13 01:06:16 UTC 2012

Hello,
I believe the only phone built especially for the blind, by the blind, is 
the Braille Plus 18 coming out from APH in a little while...
That will have Sim Card support on release with more carriers put in as time 
goes on.
Thank you,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hi Tyler,
Have you seen a phone with a Braille display? What do they look like? Do 
they have print numbers that show up when the speach is turned off? I think 
I understand the hole explaining specialized equipment for the blind t lay 
people. It is not easy. Laugh out loud
