Thanks Julie. I'll keep that in mind.

>> Sandy and I are now using web phones. I am receiving echurch mail on my

>> cell phone and Mobile Speak screen reading software has available. It is
>> quite the learning curve for an old guy like me but it sure has been fun.
>> Minutes are not subtracted from the cell service when online with the
>> internet so you can surf to your heart's content. The Mobile speak
>> software will work on dozens, literally, dozens of other cell phones.
>> This just happened to be the only phone Verizon had on which the Mobile
>> Speaks software would work. The software costs $275 per phone but that,
>> in and of itself, is cheap compared to the 700 and 900 and 1,000 dollars
>> plus for other software. I've yet to have experienced a lock up with the
>> software. Sandy has a blue tooth set up on her phone, too. Anyhow,
>> that's my report.
