Maybe not your ordinary spam but rather an imformative article on something that may work well with Quads and the problems that are associated with those manufacturing the product. Best Wishes In a message dated 6/21/2010 9:30:37 P.M. Central Daylight Time, ddh...@atlanticbb.net writes:
Quad-List members, If you consider this Spam...please let me know and I promise to never make a similar posting again. I just don't know how else to let you all know that I will give any Quad-List member a 10% discount on any NoButtonsHeadset products. Just enter the coupon code QUAD-LIST during checkout. I currently have the Truly Hands-Free Bluetooth Cell Phone Headsets (NoButtonsHeadset) and I am working on some more products...including a totally Voice Controlled landline and a mouse control that you hold in your mouth and bite to click (no wires or anything attached to it...it works wirelessly). I am trying to keep the products as inexpensive as possible because my son is Quadriplegic and I know assistive devices can be soooo expensive. But I am spending lots on research and development right now and it is hard to recover those expenses because the Quadriplegic population is relatively small. For example, I recently found out that I have to send the adapted landline to the FCC for certification (required for any electronic device that is to be used in a home). It can cost up to $3000...still I will try to keep the prices well below other devices that perform a similar function. My goal is to make them better and less expensive than what is currently on the market. I also make a commitment to excellent support.... I learn a lot from reading your posts and hopefully the 10% will give back a little.

I have now had my Sony Ericsson four yrs, and it is still working. I just recently bought a new one on Ebay for $65.00. I wanted a backup just in case my old one failed. I do use a Bluetooth, and recently have used the BlueAnt Bluetooth for the last 18 months. It is now not working correctly so I purchased A Jawbone-but it arrived DOA. They are sending me replacement with no problems dealing with the company. Here is what I use: Sony Ericsson-here is linked to _http://catalog.ebay.com/Sony-Ericsson-W600-Walkman-Unlocked-/51469579?rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=1&_dmpt=Cell_Phones&_fln= 1&_htch=1&_pcatid=11&_ssov=1&_tab=2&_trksid=p4295.c0.m282_ (http://catalog.ebay.com/Sony-Ericsson-W600-Walkman-Unlocked-/51469579?rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition =1&_dmpt=Cell_Phones&_fln=1&_htch=1&_pcatid=11&_ssov=1&_tab=2&_trksid=p4295. c0.m282) Jabra A210-here is a link: _http://catalog.ebay.com/Jabra-A210-Bluetooth-Adapter-/82847006?_fifpts=1&_pcatid=619&_refkw=Jabra+a210&_trksid=p3286.c0.m27 1_ (http://catalog.ebay.com/Jabra-A210-Bluetooth-Adapter-/82847006?_fifpts=1&_pcatid=619&_refkw=Jabra+a210&_trksid=p3286.c0.m271) And it requires an adapter from radio shack that costs about $3.00. I purchased my Jabra one craigslist here in Reno for $10.00. As I said, I do use a Bluetooth, and I also use AT&T because they have a feature Called Voice Connect. Although I can easily just use my magic word to open up the Sony and say call-and it will-utilizing the voice connect enables me to call any number by just saying the numbers. So I can call any business etc without having to program it into the cell phone. I have stayed with a W600 because it has a glitch-if somebody calls and I do not answer I cannot call out without erasing a missed the message notification. This works well for me because I cannot inadvertently call somebody when I’m in a noisy situation. I have only once or twice in four years been unable to make a call when I needed it because the phone had hung up and no one was around. All of the Sony Ericsson phone has made in the last 3 years are supposed to be able to use this system. You should easily be able to use a headset. I don’t want one because I cannot reach up and adjust it if it becomes uncomfortable. The entire system can be purchased for under $150 Max. There’s also the option: _http://nobuttonsheadset.com/index.php?main_page=index_ (http://nobuttonsheadset.com/index.php?main_page=index) and He has posted on here and seems to be very open to helping us need such specialized equipment. Hope that helps. It works for me, and I’m willing to put up with some inconveniences such as dialing inadvertently to have the freedom to be out and about by myself for hours.
