If you are looking at the Ojo, it will use non-light visual cues, but that doesn't do us Deafies any good if we aren't looking at it. Unfortunately, the PVP-900 (that's the black Ojo) does not have a light signalling RJ-11 jack like the VP-100/200 or Dlink VPs have. I also found out that the PVP-1000 (that's the silver Ojo) has an RJ-11 phone jack, but it does not produce ringtone voltage for incoming internet VRS/VP calls, so that's not an option.
I asked this question of SnapVRS tech support a few weeks ago and their response was to use an audio-based signalling device, for example, like the
Sonic Alert USS360. Since I personally use the Alertmaster wireless system, I will be ordering their audio-based signaller, the
AM-AMAX.
At any rate, it is my understanding that SnapVRS and Worldgate may be considering developing an Ojo that is geared solely to Deaf VRS customers, much like the VP-100/200 are. The current Ojo already does a great job, but like anything, it certainly wouldn't hurt for it to benefit from a couple of minor tweaks.
