Yeah, a gradual rollout makes business sense. BTW, I would bring to VCO users' attention that my wife and I have found that the OJO (it's the black 900 model) has a bit of trouble facilitating VCO clearly. Interpreters are complaining of interference from background noises and "echo"...

No, never was part of a beta group. SnapVRS had been doing beta testing since late last year. I'm just actually lucky that I was near the front of the line, but they are distributing them for real. My deaf friend at work just got his too last Friday. Not sure why you got that message during...

TFWFalcon, I'm sure Tmobile offers an unlimited data plan on their blackberries, but can you confirm? For those who have BBs and want to do tethering to your laptops, there's a software called the SharkModem you can install to do internet connections. It's $30 or $40 buck and posters on...

It totally sucks to be out in the middle of nowhere with no access to wired high speed internet. One small possibility is to see if you can convince a DSL provider to provision you DSL service over your existing POTS line even if it's less than the advertised speeds, so long as you can get...

I see what diehardbiker is trying to say, but I think sunshine1 is probably referring more to the inherently poor video quality of VP-100s in general. I remember about 6 months ago I received a call from a VP-200 user to my VP-100. I could not believe how clear she appeared on my VP-100, but...

For me, the VCO functionality of VRS is the dealmaker. I don't entirely trust interpreters to accurately translate my signing (I rate myself a 7 out of 10 in expressive ASL skills, and a 9 out of 10 in voice quality) so I feel much better being able to talk directly to the other party. In...

The funny thing is that the reason why I was getting my DI-624 replaced with a SR-200 was because the 624 would not allow the BRAND NEW VP-200 to work even though the VP-100 was just fine. I'm sure some of the installers are truly incompetent, but the SVRS installer working on my setup was...

It's probably true that VP-100 users that are making enough SVRS calls are being prioritized for a VP-200 replacement. I have Deaf friends who got a VP-100 before I did, but I got VP-200 before them because I was told by the installer that I made enough calls to justify the swap from the 100 to...

I can only imagine that Sorenson had some kind of business policy to have their installers follow up on clients that clearly have not used their VP-100/200 as often as they'd like them to. Sorenson is probably implementing this kind of approach due to some customers': * Equipment possibly...

These extra data charges happened to both my wife's and my blackberry accounts. I had to contact a Sprint relay regional rep directly to get them removed. Apparently, the charges are occurring because Sprint is using the so-called "Ensemble" account system for the Sprint Relay-based PDA...

Oh my gosh...all that pain and suffering over an unexcusable installer error!!!:ty: Glad for you too!

Yeah, that information should be updated on their website if Deafies are to understand the capabilities of the OJO. Did you know that you can put a VP-200 and an OJO on the same home network? You can't do that with two VP-100s/200s or two D-links. My feeling is that eventually, VRS providers...

The client was, in fact, on trial. Remember, Bush HIMSELF appoints the federal district judges...no one else is responsible for such appointments. My attorney indicated from her experience with her other clients that it has had a DEVASTATING effect on interpretation of disability statutes...

Based on information available under topic 03-123 in the FCC comments section, SnapVRS set up gateways to transcode from SIP to H.323 and vice versa in order to comply with the FCC ruling effective May 2006 that all equipment used by VRS providers must be interoperable. The OJO itself has no...

Like most Deafies, I'm a big fan of VRS. I also use VCO while making calls. How do VRS interpreters like handling VCO calls? Easier? Harder? Is it a nice break not having to do voice reversing?

I believe Bush has NOT been a good influence as far as Deaf rights are concerned. My attorney explained to me that the President has the power to appoint federal circuit judges during his term. President Bush has a distinct history of appointing die-hard Republican district judges. My...

Why the heartburn with i711? I love their IP relay service because I can give hearing people my 866 number and they can leave a "voice" mail for me via i711 directly to my email which goes to my blackberry. So convenient. I've found i711 to be the most reliable IP relay wireless service to...

Who is your Internet Service Provider (ISP)??? A Sorenson installer came about 3-4 weeks ago to my house and tried to install a Sorenson SR-200 router (this is virtually identical to the DI-604 router), but it would NOT work no matter what he did. It could not get the modem to give it an IP...

I got my Ojo a couple of weeks ago and am impressed with it. It is SIP-based (as opposed to H.323-based like VP-100/200/Dlink 1000 VPs). SnapVRS uses a gateway to transcode betweeen SIP and H.323-based calls so you CAN use the Ojo to call any other VRS provider. Another neat thing is that...

Although I'm a Federal employee for the Dept of Navy in MD, as opposed to LM, I can somewhat relate to your issues with VP and interpreters. I've been pressing the Navy to allow me and other Navy Deafies to have a VP at my desk for the last 2 years. Washington DC does have a couple of...
