No free VP through ZVRS?

I do not currently have a VP.  If I go to ZVRS, it looks like everything is free if I trade in my Sorenson VP, but if I do not have a VP, then I need to pay??

Sorenson VP is free for me.  It seems like if ZVRS wants business of new customers, they should offer the same deal as porting customers from Sorenson.  Otherwise, I might just choose Sorenson for my first VP.

Anyone have any advice?  I know it's a hot topic right now.

Hi,

I recommend calling ZVRS support at 866-932-7891 and asking to be transferred to their sales dept. A rep will be able to answer your questions.

However, as I understand it if you are porting a number from your Sorenson VP-200 you can get a discount on a new Z phone I believe. I currently have a Z-150 which I paid $300 for, a Z-340 which I got for free as an employee 3 years ago(demo model), and the Z4 software on my laptop/ipad. So, I am unsure what the sales plans are now...but am pretty sure that if you port a Sorenson number..you should get a reasonable deal. The new Z-20 phone looks nice to me...and definitely is expensive..just check out Tanenberg's website.

Disclaimer: I am an ex-employee of ZVRS and their sales plans were very different back then.

That's my point, I don't *have* a Sorenson to trade.

The Z-20 will cost me $995 whereas it is free for someone trading in their Sorenson VP.

Is my business as a *new* customer not as valuable as luring a customer away from Sorenson? Isn't ZVRS worried that I will choose the *free* phones from Sorenson?

Good point, Aaron. Well, if you really want a free Z-20, why don't you just get the free videophone from Sorenson, then trade it in to get your free Z-20? It may be a hassle but as I've heard, the Z-20 is worth it.

you can easily get free Z340 or ZOjo via "My First VP" program.

Interesting, I have indeed verified that I can get one of two VPs free from ZVRS under that program. I wonder why the sales guy I was talking with said I had to pay.

Here is the link for "my first VP":

I still wish I could get a Z-20 for free as a new customer!

I suggest to get NVP from Sorenson which is free and offers the most CLEAR picture on the TV screen plus u can download the NTouch VP on laptop too.

I have been a Sorenson user for many years and its perfect! Fast service too!

Here's what I would do if you really want the Z20.

Call up Sorenson and get the VP-200 (more likely to get faster since they are being traded for the NVP.)

Once you have your VP-200, call up ZVRS Sales and ask them to port from VP-200 to the Z20.

Voila, free VP!

New hearing aids - Rexton Cobalt 16

I picked up my new hearing aids today and thought I would post my initial thoughts. First, let's take a little journey back in time to understand some of my history. I got my first set of ears 10 years ago. They were the Senso+ model in the CIC (completely-in-the-canal) size, made by Widex. They were almost invisible and functioned fairly well, but after four years they were no longer powerful enough to keep up with my progressive loss, so I got a new set. The new set were Phonak Claro ITE (in-the-ear) models, and were far more technologically advanced, and also far larger and more noticeable. I was able to control the volume and choose programs using my Phonak wristwatch. I have worn these for about five years now, but again my hearing loss has outgrown the volume possible with these models. Fast forward to present day. I recently bought a pair of Rexton Cobalt 16 (same as Siemens Pure 700) and a bluetooth remote control that Rexton calls an RCU (same as the Siemens Tek). The...

ASL class starts today - Level TWO!!

I am really excited about taking the level 2 class this year. We were all really worried that it wasn't going to happen since we needed a minimum number of people and a couple people from level 1 moved away over the summer. So it is very welcome news that the class is happening, and I am really looking forward to taking my ASL to the next level!!

New Marvel Processors by Advanced Bionics - Review

 It has been about 7 years since I received my first cochlear implant.  I chose Advanced Bionics in 2014 and received their Q70 processor at activation.  This was their first processor based on Phonak technology, since both companies are owned by Sonova. The Q70 was a very good processor, and coupled with their HiRes Fidelity 120 programming strategy, I enjoyed good appreciation of music.  I use the Optima-P strategy in particular.  The processor was much smaller than the previous Harmony processor, and featured a much smaller, if fragile, t-mic2.  The t-mic is arguably the best feature offered by AB.  It is a microphone that hangs by a wire, and is positioned near the ear canal, allowing me to use headphones and mobile phones normally, by positioning the speaker where everyone else would hold it, instead of having to hold the speakers up near the top of the ear, where traditional mics are placed. With the Q70, I was able to use Bluetooth devices, but ...
