    Android-based Text Relay With Ability To Enter Info Before Call

    Hi, everyone. With my LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile), I want to be able to enter the information before the relay operator initiates a call since using a soft keyboard can take a lot of time to thumb type. Also, I want to be able to adjust the font size due to my visual impairment. It'd be nice...

    Adult Tricycles, Bike Lanes, and Bike Racks

    Do adult tricycle like the Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle fit in with bike lanes? I'm hoping that the back wheels were not spread too far apart, so this is why I came here to ask.

    Hit With A $96 Charge from Vonage!

    Hi. I was with Vonage about late last year and the service is great for me until the price increase of my Vonage 500 Minute Basic plan, which originally costs $14.99/month and it went up to $17.99 a month starting this month. However, I disagree with the rate increase to $17.99/month, as I...

Browsing through a...
