Thank you JClarke...I am pretty upset tonight because of my cat so I am letting my emotions take over. Yes, it is one number for everyone to use, like Tayler and Kelby explained. I will say good night now.
Let's wait and see when FCC announces how it works exactly...
Now, now, there is no point to get into this a useless arguement... but I know it is a debate... but Etoilte is right, I watched both Vlogs and it explains that it will provide ONE number for everyone to use, no matter if it is a hearing person or a direct VP... and I believe you two are concerned on how this will work.
Although those who are using My IP Relay Number won't be charged for any calls but those who calls to your "My Ip Relay Number" will be charged because the area code is not a toll free area code number.
This from their FAQ page;
Do I get billed for receiving a call on my wireless device?
You will not be billed for an incoming call. Your regular device service charges apply.
Does the person calling me get charged a fee?
Depending on where the voice caller is calling from and the number you are assigned, there may be a long distance toll charge.

For now we will have an 800 number but when we are changed to a regular local number, just like hearing folks, will we (deaf VP users) charged for long distance calls on our VP?
What if the real number is automatically converted to the IP address, since you needed the internet connection to make the video work?

that is no charge the company will pay for the long distance calls . Sorenson use 800 number but some other vrs use local phone number but hearing people will have to pay the long distance when they does not have unlimited long distance. if VP user with local number and hearing people live same city. hearing people will pay local telephone plan like as Unlimited basic local or limited local plan like cheaper monthly fee allowance or pay per call charge depend on what people choose the calling plan.
deaf VP user has no monthly fee and no long distance fees!!
For now.. Remember in old TDD days, you could call long distance for free by giving relay fake phone #? That changed when they now detects your phone # via caller ID.
LD via VP may be free, but with real #, I wouldn't be suprised if they decide to start charging us for LD calls or even charge us using VP service like we do with cell phone within 5 years.. I hope for our sake it wont happen - but as long VRS companies still get subsidizing from TRS funds.
