TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY SERVICE (TRS) COMMUNICATIONS
Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability, may be able to
avail themselves of 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 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.
For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people
with disabilities, visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.
