AT&T offers iPhone plan for the hearing-impaired
It's not surprising that the hearing impaired also want to share in the iPhone experience, but until recently they had to sign up for the same voice plans as everyone else. Now, however, AT&T is introducing the $40/month Text Accessibility Plan which offers:
Unlimited SMS messages
Unlimited data usage (email and web)
$.40 per minute pay-per-use voice
Visual VoiceMail
To qualify you have to complete "the disability certification forms" found here (download link). New users activate their iPhones in the normal way through iTunes and then have to contact AT&T's National Center for Customers with Disabilities to change over the Text Accessibility Plan.
