Cool, thanks for explaining. I thought SIP-based devices were flexible, but not THAT flexible. My wife ordered an Ojo for herself, so I'm looking forward to having two Ojos on one network.

How did you end up with two Ojos? Did you set up one of them in the DMZ and the other via the virtual server settings?

* If you are trying to call another Deafie who owns an Ojo, you need to dial a "1" first. * If you are calling another Deafie who uses a videophone like Dlink, webcam, VP-100/200, you need to enter an IP address or a DNS name if that Deafie has registered one. * Like Techbill said...

The Dlink is ok, but doesn't have the deaf-friendly software that makes the VP-100 and especially the 200 that much more appealing. Besides, these D-links are about $200 a piece, a price that many Deafies probably cannot afford. I personally don't have a problem with the question of ownership...

I'm quite surprised and disappointed that SnapVRS interpreters are not able OR allowed to leave video messages. I do know the FCC allows VRS companies to get reimbursed for the costs associated with providing video mail services, so I cannot understand SnapVRS's inability to do so/business...

When I got the VP-200, I also asked if I could keep the VP-100, and was surprised when the installer explained that was not permitted. The reason I asked to keep the 100 was to have it as a backup in case the 200 didn't work right. Anyway, the next day, sure enough, I was having problems with...

If you are talking about having to give the interpreter the phone number you want to dial to (as opposed to entering it like we do on a Sorenson VP), yeah, you're right. That probably bothers some people. I prefer to key-in the number rather than signing it so interpreter cannot misunderstand...

Do you work for Sorenson in any capacity?

I completely agree with you. In my own review of SnapVRS on vrsreview.com, I pointed out one of the downsides of the Ojo was the inability to manually key in a phone number prior to calling the interpreter. It would be nice if, like the VP-200, the Ojo was able to keep track of numbers we...

There's a relatively new website to post your VRS reviews. I posted my feedback on Sorenson and SnapVRS, the two providers that I tend to use.

Off the top of my head, I think of the stove hood vent fan, bathroom vent fans, and stove timer alarms that are not audible to Deaf persons. To solve the bathroom vent fans, I replaced them with timer-based switches since vent fans of any kind can recirculate a whole house of air in less than...

If Sorenson doesn't act quickly to address the frustrations of many Deafies with their long wait for a VP-200, I see no reason why SnapVRS won't capture many of those Deafies as customers. I've already seen several of my Deaf friends start to defect from Sorenson to SnapVRS for this very...

Thomas, please see FCC Public Notice DA 04-1716 regarding HIPPA and relay services.

. If you are looking at the Ojo, it will use non-light visual cues, but that doesn't do us Deafies any good if we aren't looking at it. Unfortunately, the PVP-900 (that's the black Ojo) does not have a light signalling RJ-11 jack like the VP-100/200 or Dlink VPs have. I also found out that...

Dbarovian, thanks for sharing this link with us. The article states that the travel Ojo actually is GOOD for poor connections in hotels and hotspots. I think that's because it's SIP-based and has STUN capabilities. It's the STUN function that uniquely enables the Ojo to figure out how to...

Cousin Vinny, Someone was kind enough to share with me a picture of a portable Ojo videophone that Worldgate displayed at the CES 2007 expo. I understand that it's in development, but when it would become available to the general public is unknown. If that ever comes out, I will buy one for...

That's one of the OJO's trump cards..it literally and indeed has a video answering machine. A deaf friend of mine, who also has an Ojo, called me and left a message with me. However, I do not know if someone with a VP-100 could leave a message. I haven't tested that possibility yet, and...

I wonder if anyone has any luck with Sprint because my wife got a few voicemails on her BBY and she hasn't given ph nbr to ANYONE because shes DEAF! Sprint told me they don't have ability to block incoming calls...that doesn't sound right.

If you already haven't gotten an answer to your question, I suggest you read the following FAQ from what is probably the most prolific TTY manufacturer: Ultratec Since you mentioned HIPPA, I assume your organization is some kind of medical non-profit. Without knowing what your typical...

I got a free Ojo videophone from SnapVRS a couple of months ago and am enjoying it. It finally arrived after I applied about a year ago on their website. SnapVRS finally became operational in July 2007. I also use a VP-200 in a separate room in the house, so I'm familiar with Sorenson VP-100...
