People who have an Apple iPhone 3G can talk and read captions – all on one device! Use the iPhone to access the WebCapTel* site of your choice, then enter the phone number for your iPhone and the phone number of the person you want to call. Speak and listen on the iPhone like any other call, while reading captions on the iPhone display. If you have an iPhone but do not have 3G service, you can read the captions on your iPhone, but you will need a second telephone for the voice part of the conversation (see directions above).

CapTel users can benefit from some of the exciting new technology that has recently become available. By using a “smartphone” or mobile device that has Internet access, you can now see captions of your phone calls even when you are away from your CapTel phone.

To see captions of your calls, you’ll need two things:
1. A telephone to talk/listen on (it can be a cell phone, a cordless phone – or any kind of phone!)
2. A mobile device with Internet access to run WebCapTel* on (such as a “smartphone” or mobile device running Windows Mobile 6 or Apple Mobile Safari browser – see Which Mobile Devices Work?)

Using your smartphone or mobile device, go online to the WebCapTel* site of your choice. On the site, enter the phone number of the telephone you will be speaking/listening on. Then enter the phone number of the person you want to call. Next, click on “Place Call”. WebCapTel sets up the call between you and the other person, then displays captions of the call on your mobile device. You talk and listen over one phone, while reading captions on the mobile device.
