BARD Mobile Added to BlindShell Classic II Cell Phones
If you are intimidated by smart phones that have no physical keys and have contemplated getting a BlindShell mobile phone, then there is good news for you. As of January 5, 2023, the BARD Mobile App can be added to the array of Google Play apps that are included on the device. To check out the BlindShell Mobile Phone, please visit www.thelowvisionshop.com or call (410) 431-2020.
The BlindShell Classic II Mobile Phone was also reviewed during a Technology User Group (TUG) event, which was held at the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled in April 2022. To listen to that recording, please visit Technology User Group (marylandlibraries.org).
On Saturday, February 11th, the Technology User Group (TUG) welcomes the Maryland Accessible Telecommunications (MAT) Program to our gathering. The Maryland Accessible Telecommunications Program provides Maryland residents with an opportunity to apply for free telecommunications equipment to independently make or receive calls.
The program also offers a wide variety of solutions and tools – from amplified phones to captioned telephones to tablets – to support day-to-day communications. Qualifying is easy, so come and learn about the process and other services that may be provided.
The presentation will be virtual and may be joined by calling 319-527-4994. You do not have to RSVP for this event. The presentation will begin at 10 AM and last about 60 minutes.
Important Message for T-Mobile and Metro PCS users:

If you are getting a message saying that you will incur charges for connecting to our meeting platform, please hang up and text the words “call me” to the phone number 319-527-4994. The Free Conference Call system will call you back, and you will be able to join the meeting without a charge. Please be advised, however, that if you attempt to join late and the meeting is already muted, you will be unable to connect to the meeting platform.
