You mentioned that you can call any VRS Provider through vPAD, right? How did you do that?

I could not call CSDVRS, HOVRS, or others via vPAD.

VERY disappointed. I had an opportunity to check it out. You can NOT call any other VRS provider! I thought FCC prohibit from blocking consumers from calling their choice of VRS providers?

I think it’s a buggy phone because this is a beta version for people to test it out so they can release a more reliable version. You were a beta tester for that phone.
The VP-200 was in beta stages before for limited number of people.

I have been reading varies technology review outside of Deaf world. I think that you made a harsh comments and reviews on VPAD which is not necessary. I have heard about MVP however Viable has won my loyal and I will be happy enough to use Viable’s products even though they are crap products. I have been using Vision Viable and it is totally kick arse software and cant wait to lay my hand on VPAD! I have heard that Viable did very well at EXPO on last weekend where they sold at about 1,000 units which is very good news for Viable. About 75 percent of visitors, tourists, and others didnt read your review and yet, they still buy VPAD. Viable’s next stop at Omaha, NE this Saturday! Have you seen Viable’s booth at Expo? I think that it looks so awesome and I totally love it!

Anyway, I saw a clip of Jon Hughes as salesman for HOVRS. I laughed my arse off. I have met him and I know him for quite sometime. Some animal lovers will dont like him because he fled to west from his own dog in DC and unexpectedly, left it to his friend. It is very interesting to see how Jon Hughes has changed his career from Government major at Gallaudet to saleman. Right now, he is doing a very odd job. As long as it keeps himself remain busy daily. He was once loves to party his arse off everyday and wasnt himself until he found a job at HOVRS.

Michael, either you can call to your friend who have any videophone equipment or webcam as long as it go through ip-address to dial.

ddd, I’m sure it’s not bad device, but it’s only beta and it would have firmware update in future. So, I’m not interest to keep it.

C, I care someone that I would like to help who need it.

I would like to know will this device be able to help
me with a communication between my hearing friends or
hearing people and me at their homes and places
without using phone calls to contact them. When I
bring this device to the home of my hearing friend,
will we make a conversation together while I contact
relay service?

If not, do you know which device that will help me
with my situation? Thanks.

Michael

I am pretty sure all of the settings are saved. It may be that you got a bad device. It may be that your place is too dry, try rubbing the screen with the black cover that comes in the box for a couple of minutes, it should get rid of most of the static electricity on the screen. If I were you, I would contact them… That is the plus of paying for a product, you can demand support and assistance from them
My vp200 broke like 2 months ago… still waiting replacement…
