Do You Use Purple for Relay Services ?

SouthFella · 03-10-2010, 07:17 AM

If you use Purple for relay services...

Do you plan on keep using Purple after Purple admitting to overbilling FCC or do you plan on using another VRS provider ?

Why ?

radioman · 03-10-2010, 09:00 AM

sure why not ? what difference does it make from past? All it matters is now that all vrs is going on thier best behavior and try to keep us as thier customer.

Remember, WE are the customer, NOT FCC. WE can DECIDE where to spend the money, not them.

When I went down to texas to visit, I noticed that the restuarants wants to serve us lots of good food and make sure we are happy with refills and stuff. In end result the resutaurant is busy all the time. Up in the north, you get what you pay for, nothing more , nothing less. this results in picking and choose in what we are willing to put up with. THIS IS WRONG!!!!

So- from the example above- use whatever VRS you like to use NOW, not based on the past experiences. I beleive that all VRS's are trying to improve thier services and attitudes to serve us better. Remember, making one call using other VRS you never used in long time will give you a better insight into your future VRS use. Use what's best fit for YOU!

So right now I am using 2 VRS's since its the best fit for me and my family. I will NOT choose one until a VRS come up with features I want and need.

Why ?

Purple never, ever admit of their wrongdoing. The reason FCC wants their money back because they have clarified rules and had made an order causing Purple got 'caught' with their PANTS DOWN!

Now, Purple and FCC are working together to resolve legal matters inculding the repayment plan. Again, I must stress FCC, FBI or other law enforcement departments never laid charges or indicements on Purple

Thank you

Nah. I use convorelay.tv because I personally refuse to use any company that harms the community we are in.

Once you install P3 software, you are stuck with it!!! No way you can delete it if you decide to uninstall the software.

Do you have a solution to remove the P3??

Unfortunately, I could not remove it off my XP system for some reason, even the powerful removal tool Revo Unistaller failed!

Sprint VRS software is not great, people have hard time of seeing my video while I can see them clearly. Guess I need a better webcam such as Logitech 9000.

I use THEIR software to call convorelay.tv so I can use Convo via a PC laptop.

Use their R/D and waste it by benefiting another company...

Clever, eh?

Yeah, but you won't receive a call from other end this way, right?

I see Convo offering options:

At this point, you can use the following video products with Convo:

1. iChat on Mac
2. Sorenson VP-100 or VP-200
3. D-Link
4. The Z (CSDVRS) Z-340, Z-150, Z-Ojo and Z-PC-100
5. SnapVRS Ojo
6. Purple MVP and P3 Software
7. Xmeeting
8. NetMeeting
9. AIM 5.5 or better

I will try either Netmeeting or AIM for my XP. Wish I have a Mac.

lilbugsb3 · 03-10-2010, 10:59 AM

I will never use P3, ip relay on iphone etc. I do not want to use the company who already fraud and damaged. Purple's name is already look bad so I do not interested in Purple anymore. I am still angry that Purple still alive.

Viable got busted and Purple gets away with it, that is something that I am not understand. I am gonna still find out why Purple got away with it.

Thank you

*smh* They indirectly admitted they did wrong by:
-Dropping minutes by 30%-50% once Viable was busted.
-Accepting the debt.

Purple and Sorenson hearies got away with it while deaf-owned people like Viable don't, unfortunately.

Yeah: I want to be able to video chat with Convo - I do not have a mac or any VP.
So, #1,2,3,4,5 is out for me.
Xmeeting? Dont know what that is. I don't want to use netmeeting... Old stuff.

And yeah, I won't be able to get calls the other way. But that will change because they're developing a software for PC.

Ridor cracks me up

diehardbiker · 03-10-2010, 12:31 PM

Ridor really made me throw up! how stupid he is? Accusing based on Deafness and hearing made me throw up! This is just big FAT lie!

I understand that it may look that way, but the point that those Deafies FORGOT about is... the EVIDENCE, it is all needed.... The Evidence.

What difference between Viable and other VRS? It has absolutely nothing to do with Deaf. What makes the difference is THE INTENTION TO DEFRAUD FCC. FBI has found strong evidence against Viable with *INTENTION* to defraid FCC, while other VRS, FBI couldn't find any evidence on the intention. Trust me, once FBI finds evidence(s) that those VRS companies with Intention to defraud FCC there WILL be arrests, no question about it.

Do yourself a favor, quit using Deafness as excuse, because it is damn LAME!
