Accessibility Web site overview: Vodafone's accessibility gives an overview of the importance of accessibility, especially in the mobile phone industry. The Web site highlights Vodafone products targeting persons with specific physical or age-related disabilities.
Key statements on ICT product and service accessibility: In the beginning of the 2006 financial year we completed an assessment of the accessibility market. This concluded that existing mobile products and services offer many features that can improve accessibility for a wide range of the population. People who are deaf, for example, commonly use text messaging and handset vibrate alert to communicate. However, despite these features the potential to improve accessibility is not being fully realized because communications about these product features is frequently not effective. Consumers with accessibility requirements are often confused about which features and models best meet their needs. They are working with their local operating companies to provide clearer and more accessible product information.
Key areas of accessibility work: Vodafone develops specific cellular phone technologies to benefit people with visual, auditory, or age-related disabilities.
