People have been asking Dr. Z and ZVRS if the government shutdown is affecting VRS in general.

We checked around and the answer is NO! We are running full blast 24 hours a day/7 days a week at our centers across the country.

Our headquarters is monitoring the situation and as of now, everything is “business as usual.”

VRS is a lifeline for many of us and that will be one of the last things that would be cut.

If you are using other providers and need to use ZVRS, dial 888-888-1116 and we will be ready to relay your call.

By the way, if you need video communication (VP or VRS), why not try Z5, you will like it! Click here to get it! (See if you qualify to get a FREE tablet with a stand!)

Dr. Z is proud to be part of the team that understands and listens to the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing community!

Dr. Z cares about your communication access.

Disclosure: Dr. Z (Philip W. Bravin) is associated with CSDVRS, currently its Vice-President of Business Development
