Yeah, I think that's the plan my kid has and he really likes it. I'm just
trying to sort out all this phone crap and find a phone and inexpensive plan
that will give me GPS and a little more than I have now with the Haven

I think I pay around $60 a month, I've been with t-mobile since 2005 and
have no desire to switch.

talking about? If you want you can email me at [email protected]

Boost is a CDMA carrier, I think they use sprint's network. So, you are
limited to the phones they offer. That's one reason why I don't like
CDMA, not to mention it's not really used anywhere else in the world.
With GSM carriers, at&t and t-mobile, you can get unlocked phones, that
is, phones that are not tied to any carrier. Your account information is
stored on the sim card, not the phone itself, just insert the sim card
and you're good to go, much more flexible. T-mobile offers a good plan
if you provide your phone, it's umlimited talk and text and 2 GB of data
a month, that's the plan I have and I can use any unlocked phone I want,
and I have several of those.

Hi Mike. I tried to get a phone through Boost like my wife and kids
have
because they have no plans and they have unlimited talk, and data plan
for
minimal money. They told me that they didn't support Jellybean 4.1 like
you
mentioned in your presentation at the ATI meeting. I'd like to take
advantage of the Android phone and all of it's functions but I don't
want to
pay a huge amount. That is why I was looking for a talking GPS that you
can
enter an address in and navigate to that place. Any thoughts or
suggestions?

I would not get a device like the trekor breeze. It's silly to pay
that
much money for a product that does one thing, you can get this
functionality in a cell phone for much cheaper and the device does
much
more.

Hi Steve,
there are some GPs devices for the blind on the market. There is the
Trekker Breze, which I have heard is a decent GPS. It is sold by
Humanware for approximately $900. I have the Trekker p\Pro, which
unfortunately not being made any longer, but is very accurate and
easy to
use. I also think there is a GPS that is made by Code Factory called
Geo
Mobile that installs on a cell phone. to check out these devices you
can
go to either:
http://www.codefactory.com
or
http://www.humanware.com
I hope this helps.

I don't need a phone with all the bells and whisels, all I am looking
for
is a GPS that talks through the menues, that I can put an address in
and
it will tell me how to get there. I've been listening to the gps's
tell
drivers where to go for years but is there one that a blind guy can
manipulate? Any help would be appriciated.
Steve
