WebCapTel Mobile Phones

RonJaxon · 10-26-2008, 04:45 PM

I'm wondering what mobile phones any of you recommend for use with webcaptel. I know right now you need two phones to use it on the go. One with the right browser (Windows Mobile 6 web browsers) and another phone ot actually make the call.

My current mobile phone is a cheap tracfone because I don't use it very often. Just little text messages here and there. But since I found the webcaptel I can see that I can use that service much more often so I'm looking of a good phone to use it with. I'm looking of something fairly priced so if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

I'm sure someday they'll make a single phone that can do it all but for now we'll have to lug two phones around with us.

I too am curious about this. I think someone post about this that can be use on iphone. But I am wondering if they will work on T mobile G1 Google.

Until you jailbreak it, if there isn't a way to implement it. Now days, it is possible to create anything into our little smart cell phones, eh

Why not a Blackjack II from AT&T? It supports 3G. You can talk and surf at the same time. All you need is a headset for your phone and you can look at the screen.

Because webcaptel requires a full-fledged browser that supports java/AJAX AND a 3G connection that allows simultaneous voice and data connections.

Blackjack II doesn't have that.

Only the Blackberry Bold and iPhone 3G meets the requirements.

I never used WebCapTel before. I will try it at Opera 9.5 mobile in my Tilt.

I also read that with the iPhone 3G you can use it with just that one phone instead of having to use two phones. That's what it said in a newsletter I received. Sorry I can't find it to paste more info in here. I'll see what I can find though.

Yup. I wish it would work on the Blackberry Bold as well. I would rather not use the iPhone and its ginormous monthly plan.

Hi... I can confirm that only one 3g iPhone is used during a mobile Web CapTel call. You enter the number you are calling from and the number you are calling in the web page at Sprint webCapTel site. Your phone will ring. You answer then touch your safari App to bring it to the front to read the captions. Obviously you need to have a 3G signal or Wifi.
The other day i was cruising on the super slab @ 65mph with iPhone in my right hand, Bluetooth neckloop on, listening, talking and reading at the same time living dangerously.

You can use the desktop/Laptop with Dsl/Cable to get the captions when you only have Edge on any mobile phone.

Seeing Captions on Mobile Devices

Quote:

CapTel users can benefit from some of the exciting new technology that has recently become available. By using a "smartphone" or mobile device that has Internet access, you can now see captions of your phone calls even when you are away from your CapTel phone.

1. To see captions of your calls, you'll need two things: A telephone to talk/listen on (it can be a cell phone, a cordless phone - or any kind of phone!)
2. A mobile device with Internet access to run WebCapTel* on (such as a "smartphone" or mobile device running Windows Mobile 6 or Apple Mobile Safari browser - see Which Mobile Devices Work?)

Using your smartphone or mobile device, go online to the WebCapTel* site of your choice. On the site, enter the phone number of the telephone you will be speaking/listening on. Then enter the phone number of the person you want to call. Next, click on "Place Call". WebCapTel sets up the call between you and the other person, then displays captions of the call on your mobile device. You talk and listen over one phone, while reading captions on the mobile device.

Which Mobile Devices Work?
WebCapTel supports the following smartphones and mobile devices:

* Apple 3G iPhone
* MotorolaQ9C
* HTC Mogul
* Treo800w

WebCapTel may also work on other devices that use Windows Mobile 6 or Apple Mobile Safari. You can also run WebCapTel on any computer with broadband Internet access
