[NFB-Seniors] Easier way perhaps for those in need of a phone option

[jane degenshein]

Here you go friends:
Simple cell phone for people with vision loss

Easy-to-use talking phone that takes care of all the basic 
telecommunications needs. The talking voice guide provides someone who is 
blind with the ability to use every feature of the phone. And the large 
tactile buttons allow users to navigate the phone with ease.
Users can place calls, send text messages, and more, with voice commands.
Unlocked 4G phone for T-Mobile, AT&T* and other compatible GSM providers, 
such as MINT Mobile, Red Pocket Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile.
*The MiniVision2 may not work on AT&T after February 2022. If this occurs, 
users with AT&T service would need to switch to T-Mobile or a wireless 
reseller that operates on the T-Mobile network.

Phone calls
The user can place phone calls by pressing the talking buttons or using 
voice commands. There is a speaking caller-ID for incoming calls.
Voice guide
MiniVision2 will speak everything on the screen and everything you press, 
providing complete independence and accessibility. It will also speak items 
like caller ID, battery level and more. Multiple languages and voices are 
available.
Contacts
People who are blind can add contacts independently. Contacts are read out 
loud as the user scrolls through their contact list. Calls can be placed 
from contacts.
Voice commands
Users can place phone calls, send text messages, add contacts or record 
notes using voice commands.
Big Buttons
The buttons are large and well-spaced. The Ok button is a textured button 
that is easy to identify; and the five key, power button and call button 
have prominent bumps.
SOS button
A dedicated SOS button on the back of the phone triggers a call to emergency 
contacts.
Text messages
Text messages can be composed with the talking buttons or by voice.
Received messages are read out loud.
Other capabilities
Other features include alarm, calendar, FM radio, color identifier, voice 
memos, calculator, notes, flashlight, where am I?, camera, photo album and 
weather. All talk and are accessible to people who are blind.
Speed dial
User can place calls by pressing a single button.
