Great article, My friends and I were wondering about plans like this, basically because we don’t like talking to people, and would rather send a text.

I thought it was a little humorous that i could listen to this as a podcast…

Can someone give me an idea whether or not I should go for a smart phone or just use a more stylish phone and wait for some better technology? I am on the Sprint network, and was referred to http://www.sanyowireless.com , but I’m not seeing any options that look like smart phones. I don’t need an MP3 player or a camera, I’d rather have a phone that is lighter and easier to carry. Any recommendations would be welcome.

I’m not deaf, and I spend $45 for my plan which includes 500 text messages. I just want a plan that is text only. All I’m hearing is that the Text only plans are still going to cost me as much as a regular plan does. I need it to cost $15. Otherwise this isn’t going to help me out. I’ll support the effort though.

YOur iphpone would be very smart, indeed, if it also had the capability of converting voice to text, instantly. I’m deaf and know very little sign language. Therefore, I must read – books, text messaging and lips. Not to speak of facial expressions.

Perhaps, my hearing family and friends will enjoy gossipping with me on the phone again. No middleman. Ah, privacy which I crave. What about emergencies?

Thanks, loads.

Do hearing people paid for nearly or over $2000.00 a hearing aid?
Hearing aid only last five years because of wear and tear!
Do hearing paid for hearing aid battery for life?
Do hearing paid for special door bell or phone or baby alert and more for the deaf?
Deaf or hearing of hearing paid more than what hearing people can do!!! we, Deaf, work twice more than hearing world can do at free time! HEARING DUMP! Hearing don’t know how hard Deaf doing!

Yesterday, AT&T told me that they do not have any special Data only for iphone. Must buy Voice plan plus data.
Today, I googled to find some information Disability Resources and “TAP” at AT&T’s online.

I was going to post but deafat&temployee did first post.

I called AT&T’s customer service. They told me $35 on PDA’s data plan only.

I’m not deaf or hearing impaired. I found this site via wired dot com. I saw all the hostile comments on the two posts you referenced, and also noticed quite a few comments that supported the idea of being cool with offering those with “less than standard” abilities a break. Look: stupid people exist. That’s just the way it is. I’m sorry their stupidity affects you directly, but please do notice that there are respectful people commenting on those same posts.

Um… did you know you have like a million drug links under your blog? Disable javascript and you’ll see TONS of “buy dope” ads. Really gross.

From Kathryn:
Hi, thanks for your note. No, I didn’t know about the drug links – thanks for pointing that out.
