Text Telephone (TTY)

A TTY is a device used by people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, or have a speech disability, and you can use it to communicate if you have difficulty hearing or speaking on the phone.

Voice Cary-Over (VCO)

VCO helps people with hearing loss, including you, stay connected by letting you speak directly while reading the other person’s responses on your device. A relay operator types what the other person says so you can follow the conversation in real time.
