[NFB-Braille-Discussion] dialing the phone with the reader

[Ellen Ringlein]

You might also want to create a contact for newsline on your phone. You can input the number and the access code. Use two or three commas to separate the call in number from the access code and passwords. You might need to do some experimenting to figure out how many commas are enough. This way you can just call the contact each time you want to use Newsline on your cell phone.

Cordially,

Ellen

Try using dropped numbers.
