Good suggestion but one problem...there are many deaf people who dont have intelligible speech so captel wouldnt work.
We need to get these companies to change their policies to accept VRS calls because not all deaf people have good speech skills to be able to speak through the captel phone. The policies need to meet all deaf people's needs not just a select few. JMO.
