I'm not deaf and I can't get this plan. AT&T is taking advantage of non-deaf people by charging them for phone usage even though they may not want it. Why do you have to be deaf to get this plan.

Why should the Deaf applicant have to apply/sign a contract for their phone WITH voice plan, then PAY prorated UNTIL they get around to processing the disability application? I don't think it's fair at all. Let the Deaf person apply, THEN get approved and sign the contract. That's "true" equal access. And really, $40/month is a little higher than I would expect, seeing as how a hearing person can usually get a carrier's minimum voice plan for as low as $29.99/month if they're "light" users. What is the Deaf person is a "light" user? They all pay $40 across the board just because they're Deaf? Sure people are going to say to be lucky they even HAVE a disability plan, but really, isn't that the attitude of times gone by when this world said to the physically impaired, "Be lucky we HAVE a table for you in this restaurant that you can fit your wheelchair under, so don't complain if the only table that you can access is the one right outside the kitchen door........."
