Hello Sarah:

I have used my VoiceNote with both a sprint PCS  and  T-mobile cell phone.  
It's a great way to get  connected almost anywhere you are including airports, 
in class,  at a resteraunt or just about anywhere else.  As an example, I'm 
typing this note to you while sitting out under a tree at a picnic table well 
away from anything resembling a  connection of any kind.   There are two ways 
you can connect; either via  data cable connected between the serial port of 
your BrailleNote and the cell phone  or via Infra Red. The Data cable is a much 
better way to go and once you've purchased your data ready phone,  a simple 
search on Google or one of the internet search engines including the make and 
model of your phone should find a data cable in the accessories for that phone. 
  I used a Sanyo SCP 4700 which has been replaced by the Sanyo SCP 4900 on 
Sprint.  I am currently using a Nokia 6600 via infra red on T-mobile with mixed 
results. To get an infra red connection, the phone has to be in  line of site 
of the  BrailleNote and there doesn't appear to be a lot of tollerance for 
error here as far as aiming the two devices at just the right angle.

Some of your cellular carriers require an extra fee to allow you to connect  
via data over their networks.  T-Mobile (my current carrier) does not, but you 
have to put up with slower data connections speeds.  You will also need an 
account with an internet service provider like Earthlink that allows dial-up 
access.

If you need help in getting this process set up, please don't hesitate to 
contact me on or off list.

Good Luck
Jeff
