Itâs 20 cells. The folks at National Braille Press assured me that they had seen instances of the device pairing successfully with the phone, but despite much effort on their and my part, I could never get it to work. I also thought the display made a fair amount of noise as the dots refresh. Still, if it had worked with my phone Iâd have kept it cheerfully.
It is also possible that they have upgraded the software or the firmware on the device since the summer when I bought mine.

Oh, that would be a deal breaker. How many cells is it? I would need it to pair with the phone.

I could never get it to pair with the phone, but your mileage might vary. It was about $500.

You could ask Siri.
You could search the internet.
You could call your local NFB chapter.
Depending on your credit standing, you could check with your local bank, though I'm sure the loan interest would be a bit high.
I live in Oregon, so I have no idea what resources there are in Colorado.

Hi
I live in Colorado. Where do i look for organizations to help me purchase the item? I am a member of the NFB. How do I fine a local lions group or the other organization that you suggested?

Depending on where you live, there may be low interest loans available. In Washington state and Oregon there is such a service. You night also try your local lions club or American council of the blind or national federation of the blind. Or start saving toward one that is lower cost like the orbit reader and braille me. Both under five hundred dollars.
