Sidekick LX's Relay Services - IP vs. i711

sirena rossa · 10-06-2008, 02:42 PM

I have a T-Mobile Sidekick LX. i absolutely love it!
And I see in the catalogs u can download either the i711 Relay service Or the IP-Relay service. I don't know much about either one. All I know is that i711 is an 800 # and with IP, u can have a personal #.
I am not sure which one to download... i know i can download both and try them out and I will. But i wanted to ask, does anyone have a preference over the other, and if so, why?

I used to use the IP-Relay service until it was bought out. I haven't really used the apps in ages. I have just learnt that Sorenson had recently added features on SipRelay.com for hearing people to call the deaf on Sidekick and other mobile phones. I have not tried the new features.

I prefer IP. My friend explained that whenever she called me via i711, she had a hard time understanding the relay operator. She said many of the operators on i711 didn't appear to be native English speakers.

Hi I am lost here due to the fact that Ip and 711 or even any relay services for that matter does not exist on the LX. I have used older SKs and have had relay services available in the catalog until I received my new LX and it appears to be discontinued. I even called T-mo and, yeah, it is no longer available. =(

On my Sidekick LX 2009, both of the IP-Relay and i711 apps aren't available. I suspect they will be back in the near future.

If you use AOL IM/AIM on your Sidekick, you can add the screen names in your buddylist.

Here is list of screen names listed:

Sorenson IP Relay - add SIPRelay
AT&T Relay - add ATTRELAY
Sprint Relay - add SprintIP
Hawk Relay - add HawkRelay
Hamilton Relay - add ThatsHamilton
i711 Relay - add i711relay
IP-Relay - add My IP Relay

There may be more relay providers with AIM screen names out there.

Hope this helps.

No problem, sdeeziac.

yeah I've emailed 711 about the lack of their relay app on the new LX 2009, but never got a response.

Both i711 and IP-Relay apps are available on Sidekick LX 2009. They can be found in the catalog.

I have yet used both apps, but I can see they are bit different from the apps on the previous Sidekick ones.
