| wtf... Like grandma, who's failing eyesight makes her prefer a live agent to paying by mail or Internet. Well she can move to France if she doesn't like it! And Karl once again raises the bar in sensationalistic reporting editorializing (by shoveling on the BS).
Pray tell, how is "grandma" going to read the numbers off the bottom of her check for the telephone rep, with her failing eyesight? My goodness, she probably can't even read the numbers on her touch tone phone. |

That's his phone...and he writes all the numbers he has to dial (billing lines included) large, across entire sheets of paper - one page per number. Should he have AT&T, I'm sure he'll have to shell out the extra $5, or whatever they ask of him...or leave his limited home finances entirely to someone else's care to manage. (He has some help, but he likes to stay independant/active as much as possible) |

| hehe I was picturing the novelty remote controls with buttons that size... whatever works I guess.
I'd also suggest large Ed McMahon sized checks so your relative can mail his checks in and pay bills on time. But the extra postage for mailing a 4 foot long envelope would probably make it a wash. |
