Will it cost me more $$ to use my data plan?
Your data plan is set up between you and your mobile phone carrier. It is possible that there may be more data used for video calls. IRIS technology provides the connections but it is up to the individual to decide how much data is used.
Can I log in my preferred VRS app with my cellular number?
The idea is to have your preferred VRS provider of choice set up so that your mobile number can connect to the provider. Individuals who select a “default provider” in the phone’s settings menu will have that provider be used for incoming and outgoing calls.
Will I lose access to my existing software or hardware devices?
There will be no loss of access through your applications downloaded on your mobile device. You can continue to use those applications and services as you normally would. IRIS just provides additional ways for people to reach you using your phone’s mobile number.
How can I get involved?
You can be involved by staying connected with the IRIS progress as well as sharing the word with other friends and family.
