The local number you receive from Gracias VRS can be “ported” to another VRS provider. In addition, you can “port” a local number from another VRS provider to Gracias VRS. Porting numbers means that the default provider for that telephone number will change and the new VRS provider will be responsible for VRS calls to and from that telephone number, including emergency calls. When you are considering porting a number to Gracias VRS, please contact our customer service department and we will assist you.

Report: DeafNation Greensboro 2011
Friday, April 8th, 2011Gracias VRS is the leading global access video relay services provider between the Deaf and Hearing communities. As such, we attended the Deaf Nation Expo in Greensboro, North Carolina. Deaf Nation is the premier international trade show for and by Deaf. Approximately 500 Deaf individuals, providers, and allies of the Deaf community enthusiastically interacted and socialized throughout the day.
Around 300 new and current clients visited our booth to get information on the NEWEST technology available as it relates to consumers of American Sign Language. Demostrations took place throughout the day where clients were walked through downloading and setting up the newest smart phone applications. In addition, iPad 2’s were available to demo this thrilling new technology.
At the end of the event, Gracias VRS gave away 2 gift bags with exciting Gracias VRS promotional items. Furthermore, Gracias VRS was the only company to give away a CUSTOM designed Flip™ Video Camera! Check back to GraciasVRS.com to discover where we’ll be next!!!

Educational Forum in Morovis, PR
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011The ADA Series: “What’s in it for You the Deaf Consumer” continues. Last Saturday, January 29th, 2011 we payed a visit to Morovis, Puerto Rico, a city well known for it’s hospitality.
After a brief welcome message, we began detailing the ADA and it’s benefits towards the Deaf Community, focusing on their workplace and upon requiring public services such as with government agencies.
Attendees were surprised when they noticed that one of the guest speakers was Karen Simonich, a Deaf Activist from San Diego, California. She is also a Interpreter for the Deaf-Blind.
The last part was a series of two dramatizations in which the proper way to ask for an Interpreter was portrayed. This was especially helpful when asking for private and public services that require having an Interpreter present. This was of great help and we hope that the locals will start implementing this on their daily lives.
LET’S HEAR OUR ATTENDEES NEEDS

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010Over 4,000 people attended the MATA event on November 5th and 6th held in Ontario, California. Attendees came to the Gracias VRS and ASL Services booths to learn more about our companies. Everyone was impressed with the multilingual services and the quality of our interpreters.
Gracias VRS hosted the game show “So You Think You Know Your VRI/VRS”, powered by Sergio Peña. Sergio is one of our premiere multilingual staff and administrative support personnel with ASL Services Inc, which manages Gracias VRS.
The audience loved the game show. With prizes for everyone ( even fun consolation prizes), it was huge success. Congratulations to our big raffle winner! He went home with a very cool FLIP video recorder in hand. Nice!

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES EXPO AT PONCE'S OLD CASINO
Aside from that, services providers who are focused on the Deaf were invited to the Expo as well to show what the have to offer in terms of tech equipment and services. We were there of course and the audience was very impressed with our excellent Interpreters, especially the professionals somehow involved with the Deaf.
“It was an interesting experience” some said as they said their goodbyes. Certainly the door keep on opening in the south of Puerto Rico.
Their Hands Were “Heard”
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010Dozens of people were gathered at Hiram Bithorn Stadium under the hot unforgiving sun to participate in the 9th Annual Deaf Awareness Walk. This year the date was September 25 of 2010 and the Motto was: “Listen to the Hands: Let’s Communicate”. Deaf and relatives along with Interpreters, Teachers and Service Providers gave their full support to the cause.
Later that morning the attendees paid us a visit to the Gracias VRS Booth. They were interested in both our services and commitment with the community. Meanwhile they enjoyed our delicious Frappuccinos made right there to share with our guests.
It truly was a prosperous day for the Deaf Community and those committed to their progress. Their hands were “Heard”.
