Spring Break’s Coming!

We have tips for spring break and an activity for you.

The pretty beach image above is hiding six Sorenson logos. Can you find them? If you can’t, there’s another image at the bottom of this article with them circled.

Students of all ages look forward to spring break every year. It’s a chance to take a deep breath and relax before the final months of the school year.

Many people take advantage of this time to go on vacation. If you’re one of them, here are some handy tips for you.

Some people like to change their Personal SignMail Greeting when leaving for vacation and then again when they get back. If you do this, consider not giving too much detail that would let people know your home will be empty for a while. For example, do not include dates you are gone. Also, do not say something like, “I’ll return your call after I get back next Monday.”
Are you traveling internationally? If you think you may need to make RS calls, don’t forget to fill out the International Travel Form.
Speaking of making VRS calls while traveling, have you updated your ntouch app to the most recent version? Updating often ensures you have the best functionality. Do it while you’re on reliable WiFi at home so you can count on your app during your travels.

Have you found the six Sorenson logos in the top image yet? If you can’t find them all, they’re circled in the below image.

CaptionCall and CaptionCall Mobile are available in the United States only. FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. IP captioned telephone service may use a live operator. The operator generates captions of what the other party to the call says. These captions are then sent to your phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. No costs are passed along to individuals who qualify for the service. The CaptionCall phone and CaptionCall Mobile app remain the property of Sorenson in order to provide ongoing support, service, and upgrades. Patent information: sorenson.com/legal.

FCC rules permit you to port your telephone number to the VRS provider of your choice. If you request a new number, Sorenson will provide you with one for the geographic area where you live or work. To ensure proper routing of 911 calls, it is important that you provide, and update in the event it changes, the physical address (i.e., the Registered Location) from which you are placing the call. You can update your Registered Location in your device settings or by calling (866) 756-6729. To learn how to update on your device visit https://sorenson.com/vrs/vrs/manage-account/. Emergency calls made via internet-based TRS may not function the same as traditional E911 service. For example, you may not be able to dial 911 if there is an internet-service failure or if you lose electrical power, and your 911 call may not be routed correctly if you have not updated your Registered Location. Hearing point-to-point video users will not be able to place emergency calls. For more information on the process of obtaining ten-digit numbers and the limitations and risks associated with using Sorenson’s VRS to place a 911 call, please visit Sorenson’s website: sorenson.com/legal.

Sorenson VRS is only available if you are eligible for VRS and have registered in the FCC’s User Registration Database. The cost of VRS is paid by a federally administered fund. Accordingly, use of Sorenson VRS calling for video conferencing is subject to compliance with FCC regulations and Sorenson’s VRS EULA. Under federal law, you may use VRS only if you have a speech or hearing disability and need VRS in order to communicate. Also, call participants must be in a different location than the other individuals on the call.
