simplicty comes in 2fold EDUCATE GOES BOTH WAYS! here in hawaii on my island i go and educate poeple who are unfimilar with relay calls this way WE the poeple can tell them hey a deaf person is calling and its a legit call. then when i make the relay call I let them know im deaf in my own way, and if theres one i know that doesn't take relay calls i tell interp not to mention who i am. So thats the concept and u know VRS interp needs to get back to school many do not get the perception at all. took me 5 minutes to explain about one simple thing and i finally fed up told my own mother i would call her back with another interp on line that can understand so i called mom and told mom who i am and she said thank u at least no confusions! one woman was india and she BOTCHED up a simple relay call sheesh!
