How do I use Purple VRS when traveling outside of the United States?

You can make Purple VRS calls wherever you are, even when you’re traveling out of the country. All you need to do is pre-register with Purple and you’re good to go. Read more FAQs about travel…

I am leaving the country for a vacation and need to make VRS calls. How do I pre-register?

Once you log in to your Purple account, you can input your travel information online or you can call our Customer Care team at 877-885-3172 and they will assist you.

I'm going to be gone longer than one year. Why can't I use Purple VRS longer?

The FCC allows U.S. citizens traveling abroad a maximum period of one year during which they can make VRS calls.

Why do I have to share my personal travel information with you? I don't feel comfortable doing that.

The FCC requires Purple to collect this information so we can verify where you are when making a call from outside the U.S. If you have any questions or comments regarding FCC regulations, you can contact them by going to www.fcc.gov/cgb or calling 888-225-5322.

Can I add, delete or change travel plans?

Yes! Login to your Purple account, and click on “International Travel” to add or update your travel information. Please note: if you have already entered travel information and your plans change, you may need to delete your old travel plans and enter your new travel plans.

What if my plans change and my trip is shortened? If I'm still registered as being out of the country, but I'm in the U.S., will I be able to make a call?

Yes! If you make travel plans and they are canceled or your trip is shortened, and you are in the U.S., you can ALWAYS make calls.

What if I'm traveling to several different regions in the one-year period?

That's okay! You can book multiple regions with Purple and make calls from those regions. Just don't forget to register all of your travel plans!

I know which country I'm going to, but I'm not sure which region it is located in.

No problem, please click here to look up the country you are traveling to and to see which region to select when pre-registering your travel.

Once I begin my travels outside the United States, am I able to make and receive VRS calls within the country I'm in, or am I only able to make and receive United States VRS calls?

The FCC allows VRS calls ONLY to and from the United States. For example, if you are traveling in Paris and would like to make a VRS call to a friend in Paris, the FCC WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TYPE OF CALL. The FCC allows VRS calls ONLY to and from the United States, and only if the user is registered for international travel. For questions or technical support, please contact Purple Customer Care at 877-885-3172.

How do I move or copy my address book/contact list from another VRS provider?

Do you want your address book moved or copied from another provider, such as Convo, GlobalVRS, Sorenson or ZVRS?

As of October 24, 2017, the FCC has mandated that all providers make users’ contact lists (address book) available to users upon request.

If you have your contact list from another provider (xCard file), we will help you put it in your address book.

You can also make your address book available to other providers upon request.

To do this, contact us by any of the methods here or by clicking on "Live Chat" on the top of this page.

We’re here to help!
