The Telecommunications Equipment Distribution Program was established by the New Mexico Legislature in Chapter 54 of the Laws of 1993. The purpose of the program is to distribute telecommunications equipment designed for deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind and speech impaired individuals.
Equipment is distributed to qualified applicants living in New Mexico.
Recipients may keep the equipment as long as they live in this state. Generally, any individual who has a hearing loss or speech disability that prevents the normal use of the telephone, who lives in New Mexico, and who meets certain income limits, is eligible for participation in the program. Technology advances every day. We try to keep up with new developments, so our equipment list changes. This is a very simple, easy to use text telephone.
