Looking for a flip phone with TTS for my dad (self.Blind)
submitted by hfrox2
My dad currently has a LG 450 flip phone that sadly will stop working early next year due to the 3g server shutdown. He likes the easy tts toggle and would like to replace it with another simple flip phone. Can anyone recommend a simple flip phone that supports TTS? T mobile would be preferred but he is willing to use any provider.

The Blind Shell 2 might fit your needs. But remember that blind people are able to use smartphones.

Thank You. I'll look into it. My dad just wants a simple phone and doesn't want to learn a smart phone.

Not sure about what other brands offer this, but I know the Verizon Kyocera Dura XV rugged flipphone as a full self-voicing mode (e.g. it reads the contact list, text messages, every menu, etc.) It is a flip phone. https://www.verizon.com/basic-phones/dura-xv-extreme/

The Google Pixel 6 is a good choice. TalkBack (the built in screen reader) is easy to learn and unlike iOS the gestures are natural.
