Hi everyone!
My wife's elderly dad is not doing very well and we're worried he might not last much longer. We're trying to get down to visit him as soon as possible, but in the mean time, I want her to be able to talk to him on his video phone.
We called SorensenVRS, but they basically told us to F-off since we're not deaf and that there was nothing they could do for us. I had an online chat with the folks at Convo and they were very kind, but had no help for us either.
Here's the technical problems:
Dad has no computer or mobile phone. He basically killed his last three computers and refuses to use a mobile phone anymore.
All he has is a landline and a SorensenVRS videophone.
Since we're not deaf, it's my understanding that we cannot access Convo, Sorensen, or any other service like them. Facetime and Skype appear to be out of reach since he has no mobile devices or computer.
So if there is something anyone knows of that we can use to call him on that Sorensen device, PLEASE let us know. We're desperate. My wife, whose first language was ASL, is wanting and needing to talk to her dad. Talking via some stranger who's relaying the message over a telephone just isn't the same thing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
