Game,
I had to read your post because when I frist started using Hal It would insist on using the phone, It wanted to call so badly. I taught her her phone number and she would dial it, I'd hang up and she'd dial again. It finaly stopped after a few sessions of this. I should think she would be able to dial from a list and read a text to them but that would be programing. I'm sure Hal would enjoy using the phone.
