What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the equipment

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.
