No worries. I'm learning too. CDMA only 1 signal or data stream can get in at a time so let's say you are deaf and you make a phone call. that's a data stream. your captioning software is another. that cannot work as that's 2 data streams.
on a gsm network I can have my email, my captioning program, my twitter, my texts and my phone call running and no issues as long as the network does not mind. lol!
