accessible phones and networks

[David Poehlman]

Hi Marcy,

When you get the phone that way through AT&T, you start with a 30 day trial 
unless you wave it.  I'd do this and really, it's easier than you think to 
install mobile speak.  I just did it again this morning.  Order the phone 
off the web through at&t, they give some interesting web deals.  When you 
get the phone, put mspeak on it and ask AT&T for a trial code other wise, 
you'll have to restart your phone every 10 minutes.  If you like it, you can 
contact them any time and pay for the fully unlocked version and just put 
the registration code on the phone.  It's no more difficult than say 
installing jaws.

Dear James and all,  I just spoke to a rep from the accessibility department
at AT&T this morning at length, and he told me that once I decide which
phone of the 3 I want, I can order it thru that department and it will come
to me with the mobilespeak installed.  I can, of course, get it at a local
AT&T store, and download the trial mobilespeak then when the 30-day trial is
over phone the accessibility department and they would get me the licensed
version for the same price of $89.  But for me I'll probably choose the
phone I want and order it thru the accessibility department and just have
them install the mobilespeak for me.  So, yes, it can be done that way.
