accessible phones and networks

[VIRGIE UNDERWOOD]

Hi,
I spoke with Alfred at the disability department of AT&T and he told me I 
could order the phone and Mobile Speak from them.  He also said they would 
install Mobile Speak for me and they would charge me $49 for the 
installation.  I did talk with some others there but Alfred seems to know 
what he is talking about.

Do you have the number for the disability department?  If you need it just 
let me know.

Virgie and Lady Hoshi
