Text Relay is a federally funded and regulated service designed
to make it easy for people with hearing loss or speech disabilities
to place phone calls.
- Relay calls are free to the caller and the called party-
local and long-distance.
- Relay calls are 100 percent confidential.
Using a web-enabled PC or wireless device, the relay user
types their side of the Conversation, while the operator
reads it aloud to the called party. When the called party
responds, the operator types their spoken words for the relay
user, enabling them to read the spoken side of the conversation.
When you start your call, you'll connect to an operator.
The operator will dial the number you entered, and start
the call. You will type what you'd like to say, and the person
you're calling will hear the operator speak what you type.
When the person you're calling speaks, you will be able
to read what they say because the operator will type it out
verbatim.
Note: When you make your call,
a call window will pop up. If you have a pop-up blocker
turned on, you will need to turn it off to see this
call window. |
