Hello Karen and all: In response to your question … can I do everything by voice? That question cannot be answered given that everything is really a broad category. You are able to dial numbers and send messages by voice. you can set reminders by voice. however, even with a button phone you cannot use many apps purely by buttons. It might assist the discussion if you were able to define what you are planning on accomplishing specifically. for example, you cannot use a GPS or a menus app using buttons or voice specifically. on most phones a wide variety of skills are needed to properly deploy the device. not attempting to nitpick here … though wanting to make the discussion helpful and useful both for you and for those attempting to answer your questions effectively.
As to your second question, I have no idea about a keyboard for just dialing. I am sure others can weigh in though such a device seems unnecessary since you are able to dial number by voice as stated earlier. Hopefully this email proves useful to you and others. Please let us know. Take good care and I wish you enough. Patrick On Jun 26, 2013, at 11:55 AM, Karen Lewellen <klewel...@shellworld.net> wrote: > Hi folks, > I do not want one truth be told.
