Hi Matthew I believe the new Lightwriter (SL40) has a built in texting facility, if that is any help. It comes with a pay-as-you go sim card but can accept any mobile phone service provider's sim card. Phil Phil Harrison Chief Clinical Technologist Bioengineering Regional Medical Physics Dept.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Matthew Pepper Sent: 23 October 2008 13:51 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Telephone and Lightwriter Use We have a client with MND who is using a Lightwriter. This patient has family in Australia and wants to be able to communicate using the Lightwriter. Yet doesn't want to have to keep on picking up and putting down the phone. Can anyone suggest a solution. If the Lightwriter is not appropriate then we ae willing to look at alternative technology. Thanks, Matthew Pepper Dr M.G.
