Communications Made Easy

What is Text Relay?

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.

How does it work?

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.

What to expect on your call

When you click on the link, a call window will pop up (please make sure that your pop-up window blocker is off). The phone number has been automatically dialed and you will be directly connected to an operator. You will type what you would like to say, and the person you are calling will hear the operator speak what you type. When the person you are calling speaks, you will be able to read what they say because the operator will type it out verbatim.
