The BlackBerry Torch, one of the devices that can be used as mobile text phone.
The mobile text phone is a mobile variant on the fixed text phone. Like the fixed text phone, the mobile text phone is a special tool for deaf and hearing impaired people. Text type can be communicated via a mobile phone or computer with internet connection.
The mobile text phone screen is split into two sections during a call: one field shows the caller's text, the other field is the text of the caller. Because text is displayed for letter (streaming), caller and called can interrupt or add to each other during a call, just like in a regular conversation. This provides direct contact, other than text, email or chat. The first two must wait for an answer and is not immediately clear to the sender when an answer can be expected. In chat, send your entire sentences instead of a streamlined conversation.
The fixed text phone is provided by KPN in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the company AnnieS provided the mobile text phone service. AnnieS mobile text phone works on BlackBerry devices. In addition, the software also works on PCs and laptops with an internet connection. The mobile text phone differs from the fixed text phone because the fixed text phone can only be used when there is a fixed telephone line. Like mobile phones, the mobile text phone can be used everywhere, covering coverage of the T-Mobile network. Another difference is the pricing: A fixed phone call will cost a small amount per call (€ 0.15 or € 0.55 per minute depending on the number being called), with the mobile text phone, a fixed amount will be paid per month and may Unlimited calling without additional costs.
