Online Wireless Accessibility Information Resources

In response to consumers with disabilities unsure about which wireless devices and services best fit their needs and abilities, the Wireless RERC developed “Your Guide to Choosing a Cell Phone” in 2004.

Today, all of the major wireless manufacturers and service providers, as well as some third party resources, maintain websites offering accessibility information.  These websites are powerful tools for gathering and comparing information about available products and services for customers with disabilities.

At the same time, navigating these sites, and the sheer amount of available information, can be intimidating.  Following a consumer study, the Wireless RERC compiled the following list of links to accessibility resources…
