AT&T INTRODUCES NEW iPHONE TEXT ACCESSIBILITY PLAN
FOR CUSTOMERS WITH DISABILITIES
New Rate Plan Includes Unlimited Internet and Messaging
SAN ANTONIO, April 29, 2008 - The iPhone is now even more accessible for
Americans who are deaf or have a hearing or speech disability. Today,
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced a new Text Accessibility Plan (TAP) for
iPhone, designed to give iPhone customers with disabilities the choice
of unlimited text messaging, Web browsing and easy access to e-mail for
$40 a month.
"Our Text Accessibility Plan allows customers who are deaf or have
hearing or speech disabilities to literally tap out their communications
on the go," said Carlton Hill, vice president of Product Management,
Voice Products and Affiliate Marketing for AT&T's wireless unit. "Now
with TAP for iPhone, users can tap, flick and pinch the innovative
Multi-Touch touch screen for a completely new world of functionality. "
This new plan is available to new and current iPhone users with
qualifying disabilities through AT&T's National Center for Customers
with Disabilities (NCCD). To qualify for the iPhone TAP, customers must
complete an application for eligibility. The form is available for
download at
http://www.wireless .att.com/ about/disability -resources/ text-accessibili t
y-plan-for-iphone. jsp.
During the iPhone activation process, customers sign up for a standard
iPhone voice and data plan. After the iPhone is activated, customers can
e-mail, fax or mail the eligibility form back to the NCCD to change
their rate plan to the TAP for iPhone.
Current iPhone customers who qualify may also submit the NCCD
application to request the TAP for iPhone. Customers can contact the
AT&T NCCD with questions at 866-241-6568 for voice calls or 866-241-6567
for TTY calls.
AT&T offers TAP plans to qualifying customers for use with most handsets
across AT&T's portfolio. The NCCD also helps AT&T customers with
disabilities with a variety of applications that aid in wireless
communications. These include Mobile Magnifier, which enables
individuals who have low vision or are blind to zoom in on the screen
and Mobile Speak, which reads aloud menu options.
