TTY tipsA TTY is a special device available as a stand alone and also specialized through computer equipment that allows culturally Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing individuals to communicate on the telephone. Both parties having a TTY allows for a direct one to one coversation.
For those who do not have a TTY, they may contact Bell Relay Service (BRS). If you call (800) 855-0511, a BRS operator will type out what you wish to say to the TTY user and read what is typed back. For TTY users, 711 is dialed to access BRS.
Appropriate TTY etiquette dicates the use of some abbreviations. Two of the most common are "GA" for Go Ahead to indicate it is the other person's turn and "SK" for Stop Keying to indicate the call is complete.
