    Privacy Issues with Relay Calls

    I was helping someone from another country, who did not know ASL. I called his insurance company through VRS. When I told them I was calling for him they refused to deal with me. I had to ask him to sit by me and give them permission to talk to me. The only thing was, they could not see him...

    Is VP200 the only one to connect to flashing system?

    I'm sorry. I did not mean to be vague. I am using a VP 200 at home with a big, ugly 19 inch TV, and P3 on a netbook when out places. I was thinking of getting rid of the VP-200 and using P3 or Z4 or some other program on a desktop PC instead. I would consider others, but not interested in...

    Is VP200 the only one to connect to flashing system?

    I know about that but what good is it if I want to hook it up to my signaling system?

    Is VP200 the only one to connect to flashing system?

    Seems that only older VP's connect to signaling systems. That's interesting. Purple pages me when someone calls, which is nice, but I''d love to have it connect to the signaling system when at home. I was considering ditching the VP-200, but I'll keep it for now.

    Is VP200 the only one to connect to flashing system?

    Thanks for the suggestion. Does it work with other Videophones?

    Is VP200 the only one to connect to flashing system?

    Specific names? How about P3? I don't mean their own little flasher. I mean a signaling system that flashes throughout my home. Any online site showing how to do it? How do I hook Z4 to the signaling system? Others? How?

    Is VP200 the only one to connect to flashing system?

    I am curious if Videophones, other than the VP 200, can work with signaling systems like, for example: Sonic Alert. The VP 200 does, but do others?

    HOW TO: Connect VP200 to a Wireless Network

    I did this years ago with an old linksys wifi router with D-WRT. It worked, but was not reliable. Maybe this WET 610N is better for this now. I may try this.

    WHAT DO u prefer? SORENSON, PURPLE OR americanVRS?

    Why not just use the P3? When you say "problems with the internet" do you mean wifi? If there is a wire to hook the VP-200 too then you can use it for the P3.

    Anybody deaf who can speak multiple languages?

    I read and sign near fluently (self taught) in Danish. Speaking? Yes, but with a deaf accent. My first language is English. ASL is my second language.

    Pumple close another call center

    If it increases their business then I would say, "Yes!" YMMV

    RIM #1 Android #2 iPhone #3 in Smartphone Market

    When I want to surf the web, I use a netbook, or a computer. My BB browser does a good enough job for me when I just need to check something quick. I use the BB primarily for email, not for surfing. It's a good combo. The 8330 is old! No wonder it's slow. A newer one is faster. Google...

    "P3 Beats Z4 in Side-by-Side Test"

    Video was funny, ie. "This is he place where new technologies are created, etc..." and it' a paper sign taped to what looks like a conference room door. The view inside looks like a regular conference room used as a set for the video. There's more, but it just looked funny to me. That said...

    Few questions from a Sorenson newbie...

    #2 You can get a Purple P3 netbook, or just download P3 to a laptop, or you could get ZVRS VP or Z4 downoloaded to a laptop, or.. basically get any other VP you want (that is portable - not from Sorenson though) and use it for your kids to call you, or you to call them.

    Letter about Sorenson from Alfred Sonnenstrahl

    That's not it at all. It's too much power in the hands of one company. They're a good company for sure, but if the others didn't fight to get FCC to put limits on Sorenson's power then we would have no other choice for VRS. Has everyone suddenly forgotten Sorenson's history?

    Purple frozen again

    I'm not saying that they are a monopoly because they were first to market. You're right that it's not their fault if others started later. However, Sorenson became a monopoly through free VP giveaway, requiring users to use their relay so many minutes per month, not allowing other VP's to call...

    What you make is irrelevant. Even rich people like free stuff. It makes them richer.
