[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Ideas for people who only have phones

[mother27dragon at gmail.com]

If they have a smart phone, they can download the Zoom ap.  With this, they
can join the meeting like everyone else would.  If their phone is a dumb
phone, than using a calling in number is workable, like Becky described.

 

Thanks,

If we could just stay faithful and open the zoom phone number and talk to
them like Saturday  noon pacific time, for example. We could see if they are
really interested and what they want to learn. But I think someone needs to
talk to them  what time is good  for them. We truly are not set up for
someone without a computer, but zoom bridges that gap to at least talk to
them.

 

I don't know what the local phone number is for Cal . Me, here in WA is a
253 area code that gets you into zoom and then you type in the phone number
and passcode. Maybe they would love a knit along. They would have to write
down someway the pattern to make the piece.  .

 

Talk to them first. Hey maybe they can teach us.

All that needs to be figured out: If this small group can help them with
what they want to learn, if they will be faithful about calling in at a
certain time

There is a person in California, and her friend, who would like to
participate in our group, but they only have phones.  She says they don't
have computers or email.  Hard to get my head around, in this day and age,
but that's what she says. 

I'd like to help her connect with us, but I don't really see how it could be
done.  Anyone have ideas?

Tracy
