AT&T and Apple have made the iPhone even more accessible for Americans who are deaf or have a hearing or speech disability.
AT&T sent me information on its new Text Accessibility Plan (TAP) for iPhone, which, for $40 a month, gives iPhone customers unlimited text messaging, Web browsing and access to e-mail.
“Our Text Accessibility Plan allows hearing- and speech-impaired customers to literally tap out their communications on the go,” said Carlton Hill, vice president of product management, voice products and affiliate marketing for AT&T’s wireless unit. “Now with TAP for iPhone, users can tap, drag, swoop, pinch and push the innovative Multi-Touch touch screen for a completely new world of functionality.”
The new plan is available for new and current iPhone users, but they must qualify through AT&T's National Call Center for Customers with Disabilities, and an application is required. You can contact the AT&T NCCD at 866-241-6568 (voice calls) or 866-241-6567 (TTY calls).
iPhone users must sign up for a standard plan. Once the iPhone is activated, customers can e-mail, fax or mail the form back to the NCCD to change their plan to the new TAP plan.
During the iPhone activation process, customers sign up for a standard iPhone voice and data plan. After the iPhone is activated, customers can e-mail, fax or mail the eligibility form back to the NCCD to change their rate plan to the TAP for iPhone.
It's great to see AT&T and Apple bring something so necessary and important to the iPhone.
Thanks for calling.
