Captel Telephone

Captel telephone is for people that are either deaf or hard- of- hearing who have some residual hearing and like to speak for themselves.

How To Use The Phone-
You would place a call in the same way a hearing person would place a call by dialing their number. When the person you are calling answers, you hear everything he or she says just like a regular phone call. You can also SEE* the Captions which is an easy to read window that appears to be above the phone buttons.

For New York Residents the 1 time fee cost $99.00 that's all you have to pay! The Captions is free because it is covered by Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS). All you need is a telephone line and you are set to go

A friend of mine was confused on how this telephone worked so I called for her yesterday and they said this is the perfect telephone for her because she is Deaf and she speaks.

If I had the money I would get this phone because lately I have been missing out on alot of information using my Blackberry. Its very hard so eventually I will have this telephone!!!

Happy Friday Everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful Weekend Stay Warm and Dry!!!
