 MO> Hi Walter. I'm not sure what all sprint has in braille, Idon't think it is

Yeah, I guess, but someone a while back on here said something
about that if you used your braille phon card, that it had to come
on a separate bill.  It was something like that anyway.  I don't
really remember since I was not interested at that time.  If I
remember right, the number on that card is a long one, and would be
hard to remember.  At least AT&T, the only thing you have to learn
is a four digit number, because the rest of it is your phone
number.

I tell you the truth, I almost quit AT&t a couple of months back,
because they made a mistake on my bill, and they never liked to got
it straight.  They would aggree to straighten it out, but when I
would get my next bill, it still was wrong.

Mary,  You get the phone card with braille on it plus the dialing instructions
are also in braille.  They do help you learn all the features, international
calling, calling a second number with out re-entering your ID etc.  The billing
info is not in braille, but they say they will read it to you.

 That thing about the braille card having to be on a separate bill used
 to be the way it was, but that has changed now and it can be a part of
 whatever sprint service you have.  I have Sprint Plus, and that is what
 my card bills too.  I get all the advantages on that card that I would
 on Sprint Plus service.  Oh by the way, information calls are free.
 They show up on the bill, but there is no charge for them.

If you have a braille card, a Sprint rep will go over the bill with you
and explain it to you and they will take as long as you need.
