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 detailed
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.

For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people
with disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.
