    Hearing daughter needs advice on service for video calling deaf dad

    Hello, This has been a problem that has plagued us deafies for years. I wrote about this in another thread back in 2011 because I wanted to have my hearing family, friends, and interpreters, who know sign language, be able to call my videophone directly (sans interpreter). It was/is legally...

    Using a VP-200 with a provider other than Sorenson

    Humm… I read Ed Bosson’s updates regularly, but didn’t remember that one. As for my $0.02, I completely support only porting numbers (just as the hearing world does), it does make much more sense. However, there are too many issues that have arisen because of the methodology that the FCC has...

    Using a VP-200 with a provider other than Sorenson

    Huh?!? SIP register and invite requests that yield H.323 URLs? What the heck? Well at least they got the SIP port right. ;) Ok, point taken, it’s rather clear that this won’t come close to working! It's too bad because part of the problem is that they have an entire wall and glass cutout...

    Using a VP-200 with a provider other than Sorenson

    In a different thread I posed the above question (to which VRSEngineer replied), so as not to derail the previous thread I'm going to follow-up here... What I was told is that if the VP-200 local number is ported to another provider the VP-200 reconfigures itself and switches into some sort...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    Fantastic! Glad to hear that as long as the iTRS database isn't exposed the FCC doesn't have a problem with it. That being the case, this entire dilemma becomes much easier to solve! It seems like enum zones and NAPTR records can, at this point, be forgotten (in this thread). All that would need...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    In my earlier post I asked about the ZConnect IP. I re-read an earlier message and understand the proxy concept, but I’m still a bit confused about how a single IP in the cloud can be used to signal individual phones each with their own 10-digit numbers. Maybe I’m just reading this too literally...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    There's a VERY SIMPLE answer to this question. All of these decisions are purely business decisions, plain and simple! Sorenson wanted a large percentage of the market and decided that, to accomplish their goal, it was/is worth it to spend large amounts of money and provide free videophones. In...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    Are you saying that if you port your phone number to another provider from Sorenson, you are put on some black list such that Sorenson won't ever provide numbers/services to you in the future? Or were you trying to port to Sorenson?

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    My take on the huge Sorenson following: 1) In general, the first company to get the public hooked on their goods/services almost always has the largest customer base regardless of their future products/actions. 2) Sorenson was the first company to provide (on a large scale) actual hardware...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    Moderator: I'm resubmitting this because I sent it a week ago, and was advised that it needs to be approved before being posted, but nothing ever showed up. Also, how many posts do I need before I can post without needing approvals? VRSEngineer: I agree with what you wrote (with the exception...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    VRSEngineer: I agree with what you wrote (with the exception of iTRS database privacy), but I think my original post was misunderstood because I was quickly typing out thoughts as they were entering my head, lol. I’ll try again, but first let me address a couple of issues. In regard to the...

    Best way for hearing person to use PC webcam to call deaf/HoH VRS number?

    This problem comes up all the time. There has been numerous times when it would have been extremely helpful if a CODA friend (or any friend, but most of mine that know ASL happen to be CODAs), an ASL instructor/tutor, or an interpreter could have reached me via VP. I have discussed this at...

    Sorenson ntouch

    VRSEngineer: Well once again your post is very clear and presents raw facts. It’s very refreshing to see such accurate information as opposed to just speculation as is often the case. From what you posted, it’s readily apparent that the only codec capability in the setup message is the (Item...

    Sorenson ntouch

    VRSEngineer, first I want to publicly thank you for your posts. Every single one that I have read is VERY informative and really helps cut through the lack of available information, and misinformation, on these technical topics. I was reading the Sorenson nTouch mobile faqs both for Android...
