The VP–200 already has LightRing, which flashes for both VRS and Point–to–Point (Deaf–to–Deaf) calls. Also, if your friend is in your address book, you can assign different flashes for different friends.

The FCC allows Sorenson VRS to collect money for the cost of SignMail, because the communication is relayed from the voice user to the SignMail user. There is no reimbuirsement of cost for point-to-pont calls, because that is not a relay call, so this is not something that Sorenson VRS would offer, because they would not get paid for it.
You can buy a videophone answering machine.

Just please chat with me during the daytime, the same goes for on the weekends, talk in the daytime during the weekends too.

You can set the times to not call on deafVP.com and put your VP in DND (Do Not Disturb) mode, when you do not want it to ring. You will still see "missed call" if the the person called you, when you were not awake or available.

You can get an
IP-Name and use another VRS provider, such as
CSD/
Sprint or
Hamilton for your personal toll-free number.

When you call a person's videophone, if they are busy, a popup will come up on the screen showing the person is busy. The VP–100 or VP–200 of your friend will show "missed call" and your number.
