    How to use VCO with video relay on i711.com (or other) if you don't have a phone?

    I presently use i711.com from my computer for video relay. I am satisfied with their service. However, I would like to be able to use their VCO. They require me to provide a phone number for them to call me first. This is unfortunate because I don't use the phone in the traditional sense...
