Ideal phones for people with some degree of hearing or vision loss. Easy to use Internet, Land Line or Mobile Phones and Web Browsers with Captioning or Braille Service. Some State and Federal plans for reduced rates for qualified individuals. You dial the other person's number, exactly the same way as with any other telephone. As you dial, the phone automatically connects to a free captioning service. When the other party answers, you hear everything they say – just like a traditional call. The captioning service transcribes everything they say into captions, so you can read it too. The way you see captions on incoming calls depends on which model you use. With some models, people call your number directly like any other phone call. With other models, callers dial the captioning service first and enter your phone number.
