ZVRS Has a New Website! Come Take a Look!

After months of effort, the people at ZVRS have come out with a brand-new website.

The website was designed with you in mind. With over 25 products, features and services, the old website was beginning to outgrow its usefulness. The new website allows you to access all our products, services and features with just one click!

Also, with each feature, we have put in instructions to make it easier for you to use our wonderful features. We will continue to enhance the website with more instructional videos for each product, feature and service.

Also, the website is enabled for your mobile device! It is as beautiful on your iPhone or iPad as it is on your desktop or laptop. We did a major effort so that any change we make, it needs to be done only once and it is reflected on your web version or your mobile version.

Enjoy www.zvrs.com!

Caller ID is Here for All Z-Phones and Better Address Book for Z-20!

The engineers at ZVRS are at it again! Out of their lab they have cooked up 2 cool features for ZVRS users out there.

Now you will know who is calling you–on your Z-Phone you will see the name/phone number of the calling party. It is not ready for the Z4 yet but will soon. It works for the Z-20, Z-340 and Z-Ojo. How’s that for functional equivalency. This has been the most commonly requested feature from our users out there. It works for calls coming in from the VP-200!

On the Z-20, you now can see the entire phone directory, instead of being limited to 8 lines–you can scroll down or enter the string to jump to the person you want to dial.

For the video on Caller ID, click this link.

Happy New Year from Dr. Z!

Happy New Year!

2012 is shaping to be one of the most important years in VRS!

Technology is making all the devices and software more accessible and more full-featured.

VRS is leveling the playing field in communications for deaf and hard of hearing people everywhere.

But…there are ominous developments that could slow down or even degrade some of who we have experienced such as the current NPRM being on the table by the FCC.

We must be sure that progress continues forward..not taking one step forward and two steps backwards.

All this can be done if we all work together…both consumers and the industry.

The bottom line…it is for the consumers who use the service!

You just pick a number (has to be from a Z-Phone) and tie all the other phones to that number which is your 1Number number.
