Oh I'm very excited about this!
I know nothing about this -  just passing it on.

  This is cool, pass this along to as many blind people
  as you know because I'm not sure if there are many
  blind people aware of this. There is a company that
  Brailles out manuals for cell phones.  You know how on
  your cell phone, those menus are tricky, and you have
  to press a bunch of different buttons just to change
  your ringer, or just to program one specific setting
  on your cell phone, well they now have Braille cell
  phone manuals.  The manual will tell you where each
  button is located on your cell phone and how many
  times to press each button to set whatever it is you
  wish to set.  For example, to change the ringer sound
  on my phone, I have to press the okay button to
  activate the menu, then the left arrow four times,
  then okay again, then the down arrow twice, then okay
  again, then I can scroll through the ring sounds and
  choose the sound I want.  This manual will tell you
  exactly how to do whatever it is you want to do in
  each menu.  They have generic manuals for all cell
  phones.  You need to have your model of your phone
  when you call and tell them the model of your phone
  you have and the company you are with. Mine is a
  keisera 2235 model and I'm with Verizen Wireless.  So
  that's all you tell them and they send you a manual
  based upon that information.

  The number to get the manual is (858) 882-2003. They
  have consulted and experimented this manual out with
  several blind users.  They also encourage feedback.
   From what I understand, they update the manuals from
  time to time, and if there are other features that are
  currently not in the manual that you would like to see
  in the manual, tell them about it. Hope this comes to
  good use for some of you.  Definitely let others know
  about it because this is pretty useful for most blind
  cell phone users.
