    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    I just got a galaxy tab 3 on Sprint, it's awesome, fits in my pocket, I'm using it right now, but I think I might return it during my 14 day grace period because IT DOES NOT VIBRATE. I don't make calls, and I don't want to pay the huge monthly costs of an unlimited calling plan. The sprint...

    Relay Phone 101

    Since you're a "late-deafened" person like myself you probably want to skip traditional relay services and go to something full duplex. I'd recommend CapTel, I use it myself. It's not perfect but there's no "GA" involved, you and the person you're calling can talk over each other as much as...

    VCO in Cellphones?

    Don't forget if you have an android phone (froyo or later) or an iPhone, Hamilton CapTel has a free app that you can download. When using a smartphone, I like the App a lot better than the website, I use it at work all the time. In the settings of the app it's configured with the number of the...

    VCO in Cellphones?

    I'd like to reiterate what every one has said about CapTel Sure it's nice if you can listen but there's no requirement. :) I think that VRS VCO has less latency, but I'm not as experienced with that. CDMA does not allow both Data and Voice at the same time. When you use CapTel you're calling...

    US Cellular deaf plan

    To Deafbear, If you're talking about Republic Wireless, that service is a steaming pile of crap. They are a MVNO of Sprint, so it will only work on sprint. Want to know how they can give you unlimited for so cheap? It's easy they customized the firmware in the phone to always use Wifi for...

    TTY to TTY (PC Software)

    You should try an old fashioned TTY at your desk. You mention that you have VoIP in your office, but VoIP in an office setting is not like VoIP at home. You only have VoIP within your building and some where it's connected to a high quality ISDN line or something similar. Also because the...

    Best Places?

    As far as installation, it depends on several factors. There are two types. the kind that plug in to a wall outlet, and the kind that get wired in by an electrician. If you go for the wired in kind, you may have to hire an electrician even if you're qualified to do it yourself. (depends on...

    US Cellular deaf plan

    $60 sounds reasonable, all things considered. Compared to other plans on the US cellular website, that's a fair price. As others have mentioned there are cheaper plans but the most important thing is a plan that will work where you live. I can't get US Cellular where I am, but I can...

    Never buy DVDs from....

    Are you able to get the .srt files to be in sync with the NTSC DVDs? When "Hogfather" was released on DVD this year in the US it wasn't subtitled or captioned, but the Region 2 DVD sold in the UK is subtitled, so thanks to pirates, a sub-rip (.srt) file is available. However since the Region...

    My most theaters won't care about me

    Sitting in the middle can help, You want the caption display to be the same distance from you as the movie screen, that way your eyes don't have to shift focus so much.

    The Hogfather

    Well, at least they don't false advertise, there's no mention of subtitles or captions on the box. I rented it from Neflix so I had not yet seen what the back cover looks like. If there's any one who's willing to re-sync the subtitle file I will provide it to others online with directions on...

    The Hogfather

    I recently rented "The Hogfather" Much to my surprise this DVD, released in the US on May 4th, 2008 is not closed captioned or subtitled. I've found an SRT file online but it's terribly out of sync. I've tried fiddling with it, but it's no use. Some one who can hear needs to watch the whole...

    There's a trick to those kind of surveys. Here is how you should fill them out. You should only answer in three ways. Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree Neutral (this one may not be used at all) You're still answering honestly, but instead of saying "mostly" agree you just go up one...

    PLEASE help me for ASL class!

    My answers: #1) I'm having the same problem with this question. You'd get a more meaningful answer asking some one without a car alarm, if they have a way of knowing their car has been vandalized. (plus car alarms are to draw attention to the vehicle and (hopefully) scare away the burgular...

    watch DVDs on laptop with captions?

    After talking to Ice over aim to get his computer working, we found that he needed to downgrade to Windows Media Player 10, to make it work. -- If there's a way for it to work in media player 11, we couldn't find it.

    Pepsi's New Super Bowl Deaf Ad

    I wouldn't go that far, sure he likes attention, and he's playing the roll of Captain Obvious with his comments about the commercial. I think he knows it's a joke, if the guys in the commercial used their blackberries or sidekicks it'd be the most boring commercial ever.
