Vodafone are to start a new service for deaf customers. Video calls on their handsets will now feature a small extra window, in which an interpreter will use sign language to convey the spoken part of the video call to the deaf customer.
Vodafone spokesman Andrew Ekoj said that Vodafone was, "... committed to helping their disadvantged customers. Deaf customers have been really unimportant to us for a long time," he added, "they can't make phone calls so we haven't really bothered with them, but video calling allows them to be part of the Vodafone family."
The new service launches today.
