Anyone have one? They're fairly new. Here's a link:

It's supposed to be better than the CapTel phone that I have from the state. You have to have DSL internet service as it works through the internet, although I understand I don't have to have my internet on on the computer all the time.
The phone and caption services are free, as it is the CapTel. I do have to pay for phone calls, toll, long distance, just as I do now.
The big difference that makes me interested in getting this, is that people can call our regular home phone # and when I answer, there will automatically be captioning. No special #s to call first, like if someone is calling me through CapTel. I haven't answered my home phone for many years because I can't hear well enough to take straight voice calls. We can't afford *two* phone lines, one for DH (husband) who is hearing and one for me. So I use IP-Relay through AIM mostly for incoming calls. Text only given out to friends & family. It would be so nice to answer the phone again!
Any comments about how well this Caption Call works?
