They stop doing that and will get you one doesn't matter how many your friend has signed up. Simple; just wait until you get one the MVP or get Purple Notebook. I understand where it mislead or confusing but he say cont. using MVP and major upgrading firmware for MVP. Such as no more problem with conflict between VP200 and MVP to take over the port. The simple you do when you have MVP and do turn off and on that suppose upgrade/update the firmware for port forward then call Purple team that they will correct or checking ensure that property for call incoming for VP200 or MVP.

I think I understand what the video is all about. Mr. Jerry Nelson, who is the Vice President of Enterprise Outreach for Purple Communication, wants to tell everyone that Purple Connections are no longer running. Purple Connections is for getting people to sign up and line up to get to the door. They are no longer using the program.
However, he does add that there were major upgrades which it already upgraded to 1.5.4 which it is very helpful for all MVP users. Port forwarding works for all routers. It works for me beautifully with no problem at all. It doesn't conflict with VP200 and MVP anymore. Before the major firmware upgrade, MVP and VP200 usually works on 1720 port and it always conflict with the same port. Then people would be forced to use DMZ most of the time. I remember when I first got my MVP, people would call to MVP instead of calling to my VP200. People would get confused wondering if they called to MVP or VP200. That is because of DMZ was set at .25 instead of .125. If I wanted to have callers to call to my VP200 I would I have to set DMZ at .125 which that is VP200 setting for the router. Today, with major firmware upgrade, you don't have to use DMZ anymore, I can use port forwarding in my router and it works beautifully for me. Purple already closed Purple Connections program, but Purple will continue to distribute free MVP and will sell P3 netbooks to more Deaf people who want to sign up with Purple. I hope my explanations is clear about the video.

Redwolf said it correctly. They stop using Purple connections (signing up people under you to receive MVPs) only but it does not mean they distributing or discontinuing MVPs but continue improving them as well.
Last month I talked to a Purple rep about the MVPs, and she said that they are sort of freeze distributing MVPs till they work on its solutions for the MVPs before redistributing them again in some time later. That's pretty much to it as of now. So they stick to P3s as I understood... it makes sense. Our MVPs work well so are many others too though some certain numbers do experience, u know. I'm sure it will improve as time goes though. |

let me have this quik response about MVPs. We, purple still support the MVP and you are MVP uiser and still use it to contact other purple people.
That is just information that MVP is slowing down and old technical. P3 is new technical and popular. You still can use the address book for purple friends over 20 or more then you not have to worry about lost them. MVP is good locate at home and locate near your home. We do support MVPs! Do Not throw MVP away. I am Purple Rep here. |

Stop distribute MVP? I am sure there are more deaf people who wants MVP now which it is free than buying P3 which it is very cheap. But why stopping it if there are still more people signing up for Purple numbers for MVP?
qwerty, it not a flop and it not a epic fail. It is a epic fail for you to know if it was a flop. geesh.... |

Yup, it was same as the Purple rep told me last month though few other P reps said quite different. duh! lol But I really believe they're holding on it to improve more before redistributing. Only the P connection stops is pretty much all for now.

That suck to knows about that news.
At least Purple Communication did the 'TRY' It sad to learn that news because since Viable is on own and will not develop better product for VPAD+ unless other VRS providing one and start rolling carpet to Deaf community. At least again one more time... Purple did have chance opportunity for MVP.

Everyone,
I believe there is a misunderstanding here in this thread. Actually, Purple now no longer distribute MVPs to effected purple customers. Its a huge blow for everyone who had been waiting for it so long. For users who have MVP can receive support and firmware upgrades onwards. |
