Hello! This week a Deaf friend and I went to a presentation about the z5 Video Relay. He uses Sorenson but was thinking about switching to z5. Someone told me there is a version of z5 for hearing people, called z5H and I could sign up so we can video chat. I can't find it in the AppStore for iPhone. Does anyone know anything about z5H?? Or any other VRS that hearing can download to chat with Deaf friends? Thanks!! :)

This is the only z5 app I can find. It says it's illegal for hearing to sign up :(

Z5 is awesome. I had ntouch PC, but now use Z5 as my current VP option.
 
You can able to call/receive calls to/from Z VPs because Z5H cannot access the national VP database which is necessary to make VP calls to other types of VPs. The FCC has a strict requirement that only deaf and hard of hearing individuals can have full access to the national VP database.
 
Thank you for your help everyone! I have my z5h number and am able to chat with my Deaf friends who have z5. It doesn't work with Sorenson VRS, but I'm happy that it's a good start :)
