Oh, I'm sorry! I should have mentioned the convention to you when I signed up a couple of weeks ago.
It's been nearly two decades since I attended an NFB convention. My best friend from college took me there; she's blind. I remember seeing information there about a planned braille display that would only cost $100. It would only have one cell; the finger would stay in one place, while the cell changed underneath it. I wonder what happened to that project.
I don't know yet whether I'll be attending any sessions at the convention, but if I do, I'll certainly let you know about them.
Regarding phoning: Would you be interested in e-mail correspondence instead? I have a severe phone phobia (and video call phobia) that I'm still working to overcome. So for now, I'm foussing on socializing with people through e-mail.
