peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a
telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all
50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally
telephone companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the
TRS user.

What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment
available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-English Language Relay
Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for
detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs.

Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the caller is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello, this is the
relay service…" when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who
is deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.

Telecommunication Relay Services

Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in
technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and
individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced telecommunications
methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay service (TRS) communications.
Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities to place and
receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or
long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a
state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.

What forms of TRS are available?There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment
available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-English Language Relay
Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service. Please visit this site for
detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs.

Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is the relay
service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a person who is
deaf, hard-of-hearing, or has a speech disability.
