Sprint Video Relay Service (VRS) users are in for a pleasant surprise. We're bringing in a host of new services and features, like:

Available all the time—Sprint Video Relay Service is now available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To make a call using our qualified and experienced Video Interpreters (VI), simply call SPRINTVRS.TV.

Available in Spanish—With Spanish VRS, our Spanish-speaking VIs will translate American Sign Language (ASL) to Spanish and Spanish to ASL. To connect with a Spanish speaking VI, simply call SPANISH.SPRINTVRS.TV

New VRS Video Carry Over (VCO) communication options—To connect directly with a VCO VI, call SPRINTVRSVCO.TV. At that point, VRS users have three communication options:

• Use ASL only and use your own voice.
• The VI will adjust the camera focusing more on the VI's mouth movements during the conversation to support speechreading and also use English-based sign language.
• The VI will mouth the conversation and use more English-based signs to support VCO users.

New Voice Carry Over options: To view an example of ASL VCO, English-based Sign VCO and English-based Sign VCO with close-up view of the VI, visit www.sprintvrs.com and click on "View VCO samples."

Available Sprint VRS Mail—With Sprint VRS Mail, the VI records the hearing caller's signed message and sends it to the VRS user's email address. To connect with the VRS user, the VI will need the VRS user's IP address, the Sprint VRS Extension number, or the caller's ISDN number. If the caller is not available, the VI will record a signed message and send to the VRS user's email address. To get a live VRS call from a hearing person, VRS users need to include their IP address in their profile on www.sprintvrs.com.

Updated Web site—Visit our updated Sprint VRS Web site at www.sprintvrs.com. Check out our new logo and call buttons. You can even click on "News" for information on VRS Mail.
