Many devices with touchscreens are compatible with third-party touch screen stylus devices.

Siri for Apple iPhone

This is a built-in ‘intelligent assistant’ that can help send messages, place phone calls, set reminders and do other tasks through voice commands.

Impatica via Dock for BlackBerry

This lets you operate your BlackBerry device through your computer.

Android Accessories

You can use a Bluetooth input device like a mouse or keyboard. And you can activate various features through voice commands, reducing your need to use the keypad.

Many smartphones are also compatible with third-party applications and hardware that facilitate access to your devices and improve overall accessibility.

If you are Deaf, Deaf-Blind or Hard of Hearing and do not require standard Rogers voice service, or if you are Blind, Deaf-Blind or have a physical disability and rely on wireless applications to help you access helpful navigation tools, you may be eligible for a discounted wireless service plan.
