I
There are three problems with that:
1. Although I have a basic mobile I only use it for emergencies because my fingers won't work the keys, nor can I hear it except faintly when it is on the loudest setting.
2. I cannot hear my landline clearly either despite loudness enhancements. I have to ask my wife to listen and speak for me.
3. My voice is indistinct - reason being investigated and I have been referred to a speech therapist. When I rang the helpline it asked me to say my sixteen digit card number but it took me five attempts before it understood the digits. When I finally got through the customer advisor said 'Don't bother. We won't stop a payment or call you unless we suspect fraud. We just want people to use the app because it is easier for us' - NOT easier for the customers! particularly aged and disabled users like me.
Hey Og, in the US I know there is something called a TYY phone for those with hearing loss or speech issues that will use text to communicate.
Good luck.
Ogg; take a look here, perhaps?
