CapTel

This is an abbreviation for “Captioned Telephone”. CapTel is a device that can be used by persons who are hard of hearing, but are able to communicate by using their voice. Words spoken by the called party are captioned onto a screen on the device, allowing the caller better access to the conversation.

TTY

This is an abbreviation for “Teletypewriter” which is a device that can be used by people with speech or hearing disabilities to communicate over the phone system. Some also refer to the device as a TDD – Telecommunications Device for the Deaf.

Relay

This is a free service that enables standard phone users to communicate with individuals with hearing loss who use TTYs, have speech disabilities, or who communicate in American Sign Language. Specially trained Relay operators complete all calls and stay online to relay conversations between users. There are a variety of Relay services. Most Relay services are available 24 hours a day, every day, and all calls through Relay are held in strict confidence. There is no charge for Relay services; however, normal long distances charges do apply.

Emergency Calls

All emergency calls should be made directly to 911. Using Relay for emergency calls is not encouraged. If you use a TTY and cannot obtain emergency services by calling 911, you may call relay and tell the operator you have an emergency.

Directory Assistance And Operator Services

If a disability makes it difficult for you to look up numbers in the phone book or to dial a phone, you may qualify for an exemption from directory assistance or operator service charges. To inquire, please call our business office at 775-423-7171.
