http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/sidekickdevice/ T-Mobile is the provider that sells Sidekick device or the deaf community since few years, it has been popular allows deaf people to communicate freely to anyone in the world with powerful tools such as AIM, E-Mail and other features. For past year and half, many people have complained that T-Mobile charged too much money for the device, the current price today is $349.99, with no discounts. If you are a current customer and would like to make upgrades, you are forced to pay the discount price of $249.99. 80% deaf people cannot afford these cost, most of the people are on SSI or almost no money, we need make sure T-Mobile to offer reasonable and make it affordable for us. We need our strong actions to be heard, T-Mobile will need to listen our concerns not care about our needs, they want our money, we do not have jobs like hearing world has. We do not make a lot of money, deaf people do have hard time with jobs out there and T-Mobile just cant expect us to pay the full price. Mostly of deaf people have Sidekick under parents name because of credit. Many deaf people have bad credit and impossible to get sidekick. T-Mobile needs to develop a special program where deaf people can be able to purchase them with a discounted or a payment plan. If you agree with this, you feel you should pay less and be able to get it without credit check or some solution, sign this petition and show the support and we will send your voice to T-Mobile and I will make sure that they will hear our concerns!

Why is there even a petition about this, no one who has their hearing knows what its like to be deaf, so how can someone disregard it and say "ok so their deaf, big deal why should they get a hand out!" are you kidding, imagine not being able to hear the phone ring, or a bird chirp, or your childs firsts words. I think everyone who actually signs this petition is rude and ignorant. If being deaf is truely "no big deal" take a pencil and pop out your ear drums, see how long you last! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/sidekickdevice/#sig2101333 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I don't support this because Tmobile is a buisness and having a buisness you have to sell to make money. Plus you also don't need a sidekick anyways. Ok your deaf but you can use any other phone all of them have tty on them. I know this because I am a phone atic and buy about 8 to 10 phones a year, i can afford it and i am only seventeen. So i am sorry and not to be rude but Tmoibl will not lower their prie on the sidekick just because your deaf.
