Perhaps this whole incident deserves an email to some of the
blindness organizations. After all, why should we pay a "blindness
tax" just to have an accessible phone? Not everyone uses or likes
iPhones. Try doing banking by phone on an iPhone and see how far you
get if you can't find the appropriate keys fast enough.

I am with t-mobile, and they have not yet done it to me. Thank
goodness. This will be sad if that's the way things are going.
Anyone else have this happen from other phone carriers?

That doesn't shock me! Question to you; Did you swap out your Sim card
anytime in the near past? Example: Did you get a micro Sim card and are
using a Sim card adapter to make it work in your E72?

Subject: [Talks] A Disturbing Notice
Hi, Folks. Since many of us by necessity use AT&T based on our phones,
here's a heads-up.
A few days ago, I got a notice that I was using a smartphone (Nokia E72),
and as such, would have to pay an additional $30/month for a
data plan. Since 2004, I've been using such a smartphone (Nokia
6620, Nokia N80ie, Nokia N82, Nokia N79, Nokia N86, etc. Now,
because we have to use smartphones in order to have an accessible phone,
they want to revoke what amounts to a "blindness tax". I called Customer
Service and complained. They gave me a 300MB plan/month. But the it's the
principle of the thing to which I object.
So, those of you out there who use AT&T and have smartphones, watch out.
