I have a deaf friend who graduated from a private school, and she never email to me except a video phone. I cannot ask her about it.

I thought that you were referring to VRS as a Vocational Rehabilitation Service instead of a Video Relay Service.

When I call someone on a video phone, after 20 minutes of chatting I feel really tired to look at the video phone. Don't you ever feel that way?

Some deaf have very low educational levels, it denpend on what school they were sent to, and other do pretty well with their educational background. I know some deaf people reading skills like 4th 5th grade reading and writting skills than normal high school reading levels as well as college too. When I use relay service on TTD or VP ,,, people that I called through relay hang-up and and mistake relay for sale people, so had to call back and tell relay service please explain to them you are interpreting for me and do not hang up.
