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

[Ramona Walhof]

If the zoom information is the same for repeated calls, one call should take care of it.  If you needhelp with calls, ask for it. If someone cannot keep track of the zoom information, I guess we could have a calling chain, but lets give the first chance and see how serious a person is. I wouldn't thinkk there are many who need that much help.

All these things are true, but they require me to call the person and tell them the Zoom info each time, since she says she doesn’t have email, either.

I guess I’ll call her and see if I can text her the info, but I don’t know if she has a smart phone at all.

I can tell her about our knit-along Saturday, but it’s pretty early for someone in CA.

If a person has a landline phone, there are codes too be used too call into zoom.  Then the caller id gets you in too the call.  I often prefer this method instead of the computer.  But all of the info has to be sent with the zoom info. The call leader will not see the name  of the caller, but may see the last four digits of the phone number.

Ramona

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
