November 12th is the deadline the FCC has set for everyone to register their videophones or IP-Relay devices.
If you have not registered, you may not be able to make relay calls or be able to receive calls on your videophone from other people trying to reach you.
If you have not registered, you should contact the provider of your videophone to sign up and give them your name and address.
If you have not registered, your 911 calls will take longer to process because you will have to give the video interpreter your location.
If you have registered, there is nothing else you need to do. You can use your videophone happily ever after.
How do you know you have registered? If your provider gave you a new phone number with your device, it usually means you have registered. If your device asks to check your name and address after you power up, it usually means you have registered.
