use ip relay to make local call which will be still free if u make long distance calls it will cost u 20 cents each call so good advice to do is just call local calls like ur mom or friends whoever u do trust so.. have a good day

HaloAsesino · 06-14-2005, 11:14 PM

Thank you that helps me a lot I think I'm going to try it now , that I have a better idea , my mother is deaf and I love to keep intouch with her cause she lives by her self and I have a lot of deaf friends . Be safe and thanks again for your input.

HaloAsesino · 06-15-2005, 01:05 AM

You know cental you made a good point people that should be using ip relay to crank call will end up messing it up for people like me that need it to keep intouch with love ones I did trythem both by the way and they are both the same but I like sprint relay a little better cause its clearer for me to under stand the format which I no its weard cause they almost the same , be safe people .

HaloAsesino · 06-23-2005, 03:45 AM

Yeah I have good news I love using both relays and will continue enjoying use of the ip relays

Was I right about both services being free? I've been under the impression that all IP based relay services are under the FCC's check.

yeah, they're free.

i've personally had better luck at relay.att.com than any other companies.

BabyAngel · 06-23-2005, 12:18 PM

All of internet relay calls are free.

I usually use i711 or relay.att to call relay

HaloAsesino · 06-23-2005, 05:16 PM

Yeah you were right @cental34 thanks for everyones input tho

06-23-2005, 05:18 PM

Of course I'm right. Just be sure to be nice to your operator. One day it might be me.

HaloAsesino · 06-23-2005, 05:25 PM

Cool I didn't know you work doing that , ill be nice :-) I use it to call my mom so I have to be nice are she get on me hehe for being rood

Boult · 06-23-2005, 07:32 PM

placing a internet based relay calls (any company like mci, sprint or AT&T whatever) locally or long distance ARE FREE. although hearing caller calling to a deaf person via relay either on internet or tty may get charged.

placing a tty based relay calls (any company) locally are free but charged if long distance unless it is 800 nbr.

I don't think there is charge for making vrs calls vice versa.

HiBluE01 · 06-23-2005, 07:36 PM

I mostly use- relaycall to call my mom and my gf javapride's parent too.

javapride · 06-23-2005, 10:29 PM

HIblue is right abt that cuz sometimes i would be disconnected or the power would be out so we wouldn't have a phone on... when she does call its out of genuine worriness which i am thankful she does worry abt me in case of emergency

I use the IP relay and ONCE in a blue moon will use the wireless. most of the time im using the ip relay which helps me in event i need tot alk to my work or my mom... and iw as in ohau and on the phone 4 times in one week but it's all good

hehe

When using wireless, do you find yourself losing connection very often?

HaloAsesino · 06-26-2005, 04:29 PM

Nesmuth · 07-29-2005, 05:37 PM

Don't mislead everybody. IP relay, ALL calls within domestic is 100% free. That 20 cents a call is when you use TTY machine hook up with SK1 or 2 then there will be air time charge. But because there is IP relay built in SK, it is 100% data, no voice is involved therefore there is no air time charges. so call anywhere as you want! International calls once was accepted, but not anymore

Your right, I don't know why people get confused about calls made though Ma bell and internet. They are totally seperated. All VRS calls you made is though the internet, not ma bell system! When the CA calls somebody for you, it is LIKELY they are using VoIP and that VoIP will route the call to the local Ma bell station where you are calling TO (Not from!). That is how they were able to come up with almost free of charges.

Yep, that's right

julysrain · 07-30-2005, 05:42 PM

I use my ip relay thru instant messenger. I like it!

Even though I only have mild/moderate hearing loss I can't hear out of a cell phone or regular phone even amplified ones are hard if there's any noise around.

I love the my ip relay. Stupid prank call people better not mess it up!!

I think when I first started using it the operators thought I was a prank caller because I didn't know what I was doing. Got better fast! I love it except when people hang up on me cause they think i'm a telemarketer <grin>.

CatoCooper13 · 08-02-2005, 12:04 PM

I rarely use iprelay and sprint on the sk2 - been using hiprelay instead and I find it faster to connect and going through than ip relay....I do use ip relay from time to time but I prefer hiprelay.
