Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hi a, I always use telecoil when I'm on the phone. It not only blocks out the background noise, but also raises the volume of the phone. Since it's so easy to use, why wouldn't you? I have the 3G processor, with my Nucleus 24, and will find out how the telecoil is accessed on the Freedom processor in a couple of weeks when I get it mapped. It's sitting here in it's box, and me with no time for an appt. But if it's as easy to use as it is on the 3G, then by all means, go for it. You were just activated in August. It took me close to 3 months to start using the phone (and this was with an older processor that didn't have the telecoil on it). So give yourself time to get used to it. Remember the phone is a mechanical device, and so is the processor. So it takes some practice. But that's why there are all those cool toll free numbers = besides Time and Weather. If there isn't a list on of toll free numbers to practice, there should be!! I think I read somewhere that there is even a bedtime story hotline that you can call and listen to. So, any listening practice is GOOD. Good luck, The Original Was just hooked up in August. I am wondering about telephone useage. Do most people use the t-coil or just put the receiver on the microphone part of the processer. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi a, Larry listed the toll free number in this same posting, so you should have it. Soap opera updates, stock reports and so forth. Larry wrote: 800-555-8355 has a main menu. They give the weather but also give stock quotes, soap opera updates, and much more. BTW, when you are replying to a message, just highlight the area that concerns what you are answering. No need to send the entire forum back each time. We have several deafblind members, and they have to scroll down through lots of things to get to the next message. Even those of us with sight, have to scroll down. So just use the cut and paste features of your computer, and include the part of a message that you are replying to. And in a strange coincidence, my parents almost named me a. The Original Hi , (thats my daughters name) Thank you so much for your reassurance on using the telephone. Do you have the 800 numbers?
