I used to have a good friend in college that used this system. He had lights in his house to tell him when the "phone" was ringing.... he wold then go to his computer. True story- my job now is in Sales. I was calling on a company just the other day... and dialed the wrong number. The guy that answered was yelling and talking weird, and I soon caught on he was deaf. He kept repeating that he could barely make out what I would say... but that I needed to call the transcription place and give them his phone number... so they would call him back on his computer. I finally got him to understand "ok".... but the sad thing was... I had dialed the wrong number. I didn't know what number he was at nor his name, so I couldnt get the transcription (or whatever they're called) to call him back. I felt so bad. I sure hope he wasn't waiting on the computer for my return call. Dog related- they can train Shepherds to know the difference between incoming TDD calls, and door bells, and alert the deaf of their incoming inquiry. ;-) Sean Doc Zoe <wynsum@xxxxxxx> wrote: The person is deaf.
