the free CaptionCall phone for the deaf and hearing impaired, (provided free of charge through a federal program)


Hi!
     Here is some information on CaptionCall.  It is a special phone for the deaf and hard-of-hearing that you can get through a free federal program. When you're on a phone call and the other person is speaking, their words appear on a screen on the phone.  The font size is approximately  the size of average newspaper headlines.   The phone will "save" the conversations, unless you delete them.  This is especially good when scheduling transportation, calling in your prescriptions, etc, as it is like taking notes that you can go back and re-read at your convenience.  The phone can also be adjusted to increase the volume dramatically and to make it easier to clearly hear what the other party is saying.  According to Mr. Russo, this phone would normally retail for $800 and, if you qualify, you can receive it and it will be installed in your home for free. 


To qualify to receive this phone, you can call John Russo for more information (his phone number is provided below).  You must have a landline going to your residence, Internet and a Wi-Fi  signal.  To apply for this phone, you will need to give John your name, phone number and the name and address of your audiologist.  There are no financial restrictions in order to qualify.




If you want to learn more about the phone, here is a link to their website:
