    New for 2011: Listing of New Canadian Relay Services

    Update....What a STUPID web design mistake at Bell Canada. They have two identical websites, https://iprelay.bell.ca and https://myiprelay.bell.ca that have no difference in labelling. Not even "RESIDENTIAL RELAY" versus "BUSINESS RELAY". Your login will work only one one or the other, not...

    New for 2011: Listing of New Canadian Relay Services

    I have no idea, but I know all the services work with a laptop tethered to the smartphone (over Bluetooth, WiFi Sharing, or USB cable). It's possible that some of the sites require Adobe Flash or Java, not typically found in most smartphone web browsers. I know that some IP relay services and...

    New for 2011: Listing of New Canadian Relay Services

    ________ TIP: If you don't have a home phone, you can use your parent's or relative's home phone to register for one or more of the above services. IP Relay works anywhere with an Internet connection. This means you don't need to be in the same location as the regular phone line to use IP...

    New for 2011: Listing of New Canadian Relay Services

    The year 2011 may be the time that Canada finally gets out of the stone age, as far as online relay services is concerned. In 2011, you are no longer stuck with using a TDD to call Bell Relay Service or Telus Relay Service. Example -- You can use a wireless laptop instead of using a TDD or...

    IP Relay SErvice from Bell Canada

    I'll have to say, "about time!" -- iprelay.bell.ca I'd been occasionally using U.S. based IP relay services until they blocked Canadian users from being able to use them... I've been relying on my own homebrew solution (www.minitty.com) which is essentially a TDD/TTY modem connected to a Linux...

    Flashing Display until text is answered! Now I know why they jail-break iPhones!

    I jailbroke my iPod so that I could use Bluetooth keyboards -- I like folding keyboards, such as Freedom Input or Stowaways that I purchase off eBay, because these are touchtypeable keyboards that I can fold and put in my pocket. Now iOS 4.0 has come out and now it supports the keyboard...

    When will Canadians see IP Relay?

    You are wrong. I worked in the USA and IP-Relay was working in January 2001. I used it to place phone calls in the states. That's pretty much 10 years ago, buddy - 9 years and 9 months to be exact. In 2001, MCI took over operations of the federal IP relay service and opened a call center...

    CANADIANS: I invented a wireless relay service. Help me commercialize!

    My software is 90% server based. So it is not as simple as "can I have a copy?" It's basically server running TDD's remotely. Right now, I've only upgraded the server to handle 2 simultaneous calls. Someone needs to pony up a few thousand dollars for the infrastructure. (some virtual...

    CANADIANS: I invented a wireless relay service. Help me commercialize!

    It's been many years since this thread has been posted. I'm replying to say that I currently use this service on BlackBerries using both MobileSSH and midpssh. Since I use a Vonage Canada line, their Canadian 711 provider was selected to be the New Jersey relay service instead of Bell...

    Sprint WebCapTel website now works on BlackBerry Bold OS 5.0!!

    The WebCapTel 'captions' part does not need a telephone number, but an Internet connection instead. You could even use a laptop or wifi, while using your cellphone for the voice part. One of your phones becomes the phone number (for talking on), and one of your phones becomes the Internet...

    Sprint WebCapTel website now works on BlackBerry Bold OS 5.0!!

    Hello, http://www.sprintcaptel.com works on BlackBerry Bold's web browser if you upgrade to BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.238 beta .... This OS is fairly buggy, so I recommend waiting until the final 5.0 release comes out, however, if you cannot wait. Since you cannot reconfigure your font size in...

    BlackBerry as Modem for Laptop

    Actually, it's a bargain (cheaper than USA) if you get the 6 gigabyte plan for $30 per month by Rogers Canada. It is a special promotion plan, that often happens near iPhone launches. The iPhone 3GS just launched not too long ago, so grab the new plan as soon as you can! I have that on...

    TTY that works with Blackberry Curve 8320?

    Ultratec Compact/C TTY, is my choice. It includes an adaptor that connects to your BlackBerry, and as long as you enable Phone->Options->TTY on your BlackBerry. Another option is to use Lormar Logic, and call a TTY directly with your BlackBerry. There are also PC-based "TTY-over-Internet"...

    Ultratec says this is compatible with VoIP! Unlimited U.S. calling, if you get a VoIP line. I wish these services are available in Canada too. If necessary, I'd even PAY an hourly rate -- to help pay for an operator to do Captioned Telephone everytime I place a call. I have used...
