[Trainer-Talk] TalkBack resources and question

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

I don't know about that LG phone, but some LG phones have the ability to
answer a call using the volume button. This is in the settings. With such
an old phone and Android version though, his best bet may be to get a new
device.

Thanks.
