    I also have captioncall home phone,have to have dsl for it,no special # for people to have to call like captel, people just dial your regular phone # the captioning is pretty good not the most accurate in the world,but other people find it easier to call me straight out instead of 20 #s plus!

    Newly implanted, just turned on 2 days ago
