Voice Over is not affected by jailbreaking your phone. I think your
friend is misinformed. It's true that some jailbreak tweaks or apps
might not work with Voice Over, but the same is true for Apple approved
app store apps.
Good luck.

Greetings from Chicago. I have never owned a cell phone before and
really learned the benefit of one when I was in a suburb and asked
folks for directions a few times. no one could answer my questions
directly. they all turned to their smart phones! I realized I could
have the same thing in my hand that was fully accessible. I learned
about the Straight Talk service and discovered that iPhone service is
now more affordable than high speed Internet access was when I first
subscribed more than 10 years ago.
to use Straight Talk or most of the other prepaid services, it is
necesssary to unlock the phone. Unlocking usually requires jail
breaking, I understand. Even if it doesn't I would eventually
jailbreak anyway for the added flexability. A friend told me that
unlocked and jail broken phones are unstable with Voice Over. He said
the places where one gestures or taps to initiate actions can move or
change. These shifting locations he said can make it difficult for a
blind person to use an unlocked phone. For this reason, he urges blind
people to use contract service only.
has anyone else experienced this with unlocked or jailbroken phones?
Is voice Over less responsive and precise in unlocked or jail broken
configurations than an out of the box phone from a contract provider?
I appreciate all the contributions people have made in the few days I
have been on the list. I have learned so much already. I can't wait
to get started on this adventure in independence.
