Accessibility Support Phone Lines You Should Know
I was trying to search for Microsoft phone number last night and I realized how difficult it is to find certain phone numbers. Most of the pages on internet are polluted with scam phone numbers and people who try to pose themselves as Microsoft and try to scam you. After much research I was astonished to see that some of the OEM vendors have Accessibility Support Phone lines. They are there to help you get the most out of their products and to insure your devices are set right to accommodate your needs. This is an effort we greatly appreciate and are thrilled to spread the word.

The features you need to make your PC ‘vision friendly’ are built right into Windows – unfortunately, many people don’t know that. Microsoft recognized this as a significant problem and put in place a support team specialized in accessibility. So dial them up and get your computer set up to work for you (not against you). And, to make it even easier on yourself — allow them remote access to your PC and they can make the adjustments.
