Hello, 

Just a quick reminder to all of our A T & T users that we, as low vision or blind customers, may access A T & T’s Voice Info system for free.  Sighted customers pay a monthly fee of approximately $4.95. 

You must call A T & T’s National Center for Customers with Disabilities in order to apply for the fee waver.  They can be reached at:  (866)241-6568.

To dial into the Voice Info system just press the star key (*) followed immediately by the number 8.  Then press the send key.  After the call has been connected, you will hear a voice prompt say, “Voice dial.”  Most of us already have address books stored on our phones but this is for those who do not.  At the voice prompt, simply say, “Voice Info.”  The system will walk you through the rest.  Standard air time charges do apply. 

Features in this system include finance, a news center, sports, weather, entertainment, wake up calls, and travel.  The travel will help you look up businesses and so much more.  It is all controlled by your voice.  Also, you can simply tell the system where you wish to go and it will give you turn-by-turn voice directions to the address or intersection you indicate. 

I think this is one of the most fun and useful features available to us on the A T & T wireless network. 

Since it does not cost A T & T customers with disabilities any money, why not add it to your proverbial toolkit?
