Hamilton Relay Adds Video Mail and Missed Calls

Hamilton Relay Adds Video Mail and Missed Calls to Video Relay Service
and Distributes New Edition of The Relay Newsletter
AURORA, NE – July 12, 2006 – Advanced video technology and improved
Internet accessibility has made Video Relay one of the premier relay
services available for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. As a
result, Hamilton Relay has added both Video Mail and Missed Calls as a
part of its expanding Video Relay service.
Similar to telephone voice mail, Video Mail allows a caller to leave a
video message when the person they are calling is not available. The
recipient of Video Mail then receives an e-mail containing the video
message as a QuickTime attachment. In the same fashion, if a caller
chooses not to leave Video Mail, a Missed Calls notification e-mail is
sent providing the number of the person that attempted to call.
"Both Video Mail and Missed Calls are basic expectations for standard
telephone users," said Anne Girard, Product Development/Regulatory
Manager of Hamilton Relay. "The addition of these features to Hamilton
Relay VRS is a great benefit and is really an extension of our
commitment to making the Hamilton Relay experience even better for our
customers."
Hamilton Relay VRS can be used with any type of videophone and the Video
Mail and Missed Calls features can be added simply by creating a Video Mail
Account online at www.hamiltonrelay.com/videorelay/videomail.htm. Once a
Video Mail Account is created, both video mail and missed call
notifications will be sent to a user-defined e-mail address. These
features even work for those who do not have a videophone as the video
messages are received in e-mail and reviewed on the recipient’s
computer. Calls can be returned easily by using any one of the many
relay service options offered by Hamilton Relay.
The new edition of The Relay, a publication of Hamilton Relay, is now
available online at: http://www.hamiltonrelay.com/news.htm.
