Hello,
The new upgraded Canada IP-Relay clients used by Rogers and Bell Canada are much better and more smartphone-friendly!
1. The IP-Relay website is now responsive, can zoom properly (make fonts big) with Chrome zoom.
2. Works perfectly in mobile web browsers including iPhone and Android
And to top it off, there's also an app in the app stores. The app is not as good as the mobile-compatible website (works in mobile browsers), but it's usable. The upgrades to Canada IP-Relay makes calling banks / CRA / jobs / airlines / etc much easier for those times I need to place a phone call.
If you tried the Canadian IP-Relay service and hated it, google "<Carrier> IP-Relay"
--> If you're using Bell Canada, google "Bell Canada IP-Relay"
--> If you're using Virgin Mobile, google "Virgin Mobile IP-Relay"
--> If you're using Videotron, google "Videotron IP-Relay"
--> If you're using Telus, google "Telus IP-Relay"
You will find the sign-up page that way for your Canadian phone company. All of them are required (by CRTC) to provide this service. They all use the same app, and the same web interface. Once you sign up, they will give you an account, and allow you to place phone calls on any device now...
Canadian IP-Relay website now works on everything, even an old laptop (any OS), or old WiFi iPod or an Amazon Kindle Fire! ... And if you prefer big keyboards, it works well with any of your favourite Bluetooth keyboards too, for the big TDD experience.
Also supports HCO, VCO, etc, so you can even use the cellphone (on speakerphone) for audio at the same time as you're using IP-Relay! (You have to place the call at the same time)
Soon, Google Transcribe will do this without relay operators soon, but we still need IP-Relay for those important calls, like calls to the taxman or other important calls.
