I prefer to call over IP because no charge on phone bills, just like VoIP.

TTY sucks... It will going be die in near future due start fading out.

Never tried on VRS before then not know.

Once you experience Videophone you would wonder why you wasted so much time on TTY and IPrelay.

The truth is that Videophone is much clarity, much faster, actually more than 10 times faster than TTY and you get to speak your natural language though VRS.

I only use IP relay if I have no choice and it is considered last resort.

Finally the demand for Videophone has exploded, so is VRS had exploded much faster than TRS. Why exploding That is because once deaf touch it, its over and that kills TTY effectively.

Believe it or not, even though FCC paid around $6.75 per minute for VRS, while FCC paid around $1.90 per minute for TRS, statistic shows it is still CHEAPER for FCC to pay VRS than TRS, how can this be true? 5 minutes of VRS conversation equals 50 minutes of conversation, and it cost 95 dollars for TRS verses $33.75 for VRS, both for same amount of information or conversation!
So, please give Videophone a try, I can bet you won't regret at all, and would be likely thank me, like I thanked my best friend for pushing me to get VideoPhone.

I think the best "relay" is the one my wife and I have......no details due to the sensitive nature of the information.

IP relay is my preference becasue it allow me to receive calls anytime from hearing folks without worrying about if I am clean or dressed to face to face the VP Relay Interpeter.

However when I call out to hearing folks sometime I do use VP Relay but most of the time I make quick calls and IP relay is faster for me on short calls rather than waiting for avaiable VP interpeter. Long calls I will use VP relay.

I like both IP and VP relay but I use IP relay most of the time and all my incoming calls goes to IP relay via Computer AIM or My Moblie phone AIM.

I have not used TTY for like almost over 10 years. I don't even know if my TTY still work LOL!

For a hearing impaired? Nope! Can't use VRS.

Have to Learn ASL (despite only the basic words)... Tallahassee Community College doesn't offer an ASL course...

After I learn ASL, I can be able to practice using VRS so I can benefit every hearing people...

If I have CapTel (Captioned Telephone), I'll be tied to VoIP...

it's illogal on amount of communicate between teletype and video.

5 minutes on video is pretty equal as 10 to 15 minutes in type. For me, it's less than 4 minutes in type.

BTW, it's $1.31/min on TRS and $6.44/min on VRS.

Oh, I'm happy with IP so enough.

I don't need VRS, even no reason to get one.

I have VP, but hardly use it that much. I think I need to be confident with my signs before I use VP more. I do use signs but not fluent enough like deaf people.

I used to use SprintIP often until more recently. They just keep me and other parties waiting for several seconds more. I have gone back to Verizon IP-Relay and AT&T.

I tried Hawk Relay twice but wasn't impressed with them.

sara1981 · 05-31-2007, 06:22 PM
