You guys are seeming to forget about the IPhone 3G S which with the IPhone
you don't need a piece of third party software on the phone because the
IPhone3G S already has Apple's screen reader VoiceOver installed on it. You
need to buy it from your local Apple store. I'm not sure if the Apple store
folks will be able to sign you up for a Cell phone plan through AT&T. Or If
you would need to go to an AT&T store to sign up for the plan.

The difference, Sandy, is that you got the software from AT&T.
The company sells it for a different price.
AT&T has a promotion that if you have an accessible phone, they will sell it
for $89  with tax.
If you buy mobile speaks direct from the company who makes it, it is more.
It is important to get a good software, and also make sure that you have a
phone that will support that software.
Talks and mobile speaks are the two leading softwares.
AT&T use to support talks, but now supports Mobile speaks.
This talking software works with symbian based phones and can work with
smart phones.
But, if you have verizon or Sprint or another smaller company, it might not
support symbian based phones.

Someone mentioned their daughter needing a cell phone.
I would ask:
1. what company are you already with? Who is your cellular provider?
Your options might be limited depending on your provider.
