IP relay services are text-to-voice and voice-to-text relay services, but run over Internet protocol. In an IP relay service call, the relay operator communicates with the person who has a hearing or speech disability via text and the person without a hearing or speech disability via voice. The person with a disability uses a device connected to the Internet (e.g. computer, laptop, wireless device) or a text messaging application to reach the relay operator. The person without a disability dials a toll-free number to reach the relay operator. GETUS customers can access this service free of charge, 24/7, 365 days a year. Access to IP Relay service requires an Internet connection.
