Text relay service

Text Relay allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing to use a textphone to access any services that are available on standard telephone systems.
A highly trained Text Relay operator provides a communicative link between the textphone user (who is deaf) and the hearing person. The service is discreet, confidential and convenient. If you are deaf, all you need is a textphone, which is a specially adapted telephone with a keyboard.
