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. |
