Texting survey for the Deaf
Deaf mobile phone users in Waltham Forest UK are being urged to come forward and take part in research on texting, according to the Walthan Forest Guardian.
"Participants will be able to air their views on the different ways of texting, other options such as SMS, fax, email and internet chatrooms, what they think of services provided and how they could be improved.
The research has been commissioned by BT, Orange, O2, Vodafone, Oftel, DIEL and the Telecommunications Action Group, which is an organisation that aims to ensure deaf, deafened, hard-of-hearing and deaf/blind people can access the telephone network as easily and at the same cost as hearing people".
For more on SMS services and concerns with regard to the Deaf and Hearing impaired - probably the population group worldwide the most needy of text messaging - check out this special category in Textually.org.
