OVERLAND PARK, Kan.-Sprint PCS is offering its voice-dialing service for no charge to users who are blind, visually impaired or physically disabled, the carrier said Thursday.
The free service, which works on any Sprint phone, allows calls to be dialed by speaking the desired contact or phone number, and includes 10 directory assistance calls per month at no charge. Sprint offers its PCS Voice Command at $5 a month.
Cingular Wireless has a similar offering, allowing sight-impaired users free access to its Voice Connect service.
“Sprint has always been a proponent of finding new ways to assist customers with disabilities, and this bundle of free services demonstrates our commitment and support to that effort by allowing customers an easier way to use their wireless phones,” said Pamela Olson, product manager for Sprint PCS Voice Command.
