Customer Information

Relay Iowa Relay Iowa is a specialized service that guarantees all citizens access to prompt, professional and accurate communication through the phone. Consumers of these specialized services, specifically individuals who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hear- ing or have difficulty speaking, can communicate on the phone via TTY, Voice Carry Over (VCO), Hearing Carry Over (HCO), Speech-to-Speech (STS), Spanish-to-Spanish and Captioned Telephone in order to connect with family, friends or businesses with ease. Here’s How Relay Iowa Works: Dial 711 or the appropriate toll-free number provided to con- nect with Relay Iowa. A specially trained operator, called a Communication Assistant (CA) will ask for the area code and number of the person you wish to call and will begin relaying the conversation. Generally, the CA will voice the typed mes- sage from the text phone (TTY) user to the person on the other end. The CA then relays the spoken words by typing them back to the TTY user. All calls are held strictly confidential. Specialized Services Relay Iowa offers specialized services for individuals who have difficulty speaking and for Spanish speaking residents. Specially trained CAs are on hand to assist in these types of calls and may be reached by dialing the associated number provided on this page. Since Relay Iowa offers a variety of services, please refer to the website listed or call Relay Iowa Customer Service for more detailed instruction on how a par- ticular call is processed. Captioned Telephone is also available and ideal for individuals with hearing loss who are able to speak for themselves. A Captioned Telephone works like any other phone with one important addition: it displays every word the other person says throughout the conversation. Captioned Telephone users can listen to the caller and read the captions on the display window of the Captioned Telephone. Access To Services Both 711 and the 800 numbers are toll-free calls and provide access to the same relay services. If you are experiencing trouble dialing 711 to reach Relay Iowa, please call Relay Iowa Customer Service. All services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Consumers may place relay calls to English and Spanish speaking persons within Iowa, across the United States and even internationally. By law, each conversation is handled with strict confidentiality. There is no charge to access Relay Iowa, although standard long distance charges apply.

The Iowa Equipment Distribution Program, called Telecommunications Access Iowa (TAI), helps pay for special- ized equipment for residents of Iowa who are deaf, deaf-blind, hard of hearing or have difficulty speaking. Qualified individu- als can receive a voucher for approximately 95% of the aver-

age cost of specialized telephone equipment. To apply online, go to : www.relayiowa.com/tai/ or call 1-800-606-5099 Voice/TTY. Emergency Calls

Phone Repair Service

To Report A Problem With Your Phone Service: (8am - 5pm Monday-Friday)....................................... 333 (from within our serving area) or .............................................................................................................1-800-721-2577 (After Hours, Holidays & Weekends).........................................................1-800-721-2577

Why Won’t My Phone Work? These tests can help you determine why your phone isn’t working:

1. If you have only one phone and it unplugs, take it to a friend’s home or office and plug it in. If it doesn’t work there, you probably have a phone equipment problem . 2. If you have two or more phones that unplug, unplug all of them. Then try each one, one at a time in each phone jack or outlet. If one phone doesn’t work anywhere, you probably have a phone equipment problem. If none of the phones work in any jack, you may have a jack or inside wiring problem. 3. Borrow a friend’s phone and try it in each one of your jacks. If it doesn’t work in a particular jack you probably have a jack or inside wiring problem . If it doesn’t work in any jack, you may have a line problem . 4. If your phone doesn’t unplug, contact the company that sold or leased it to you for directions on how to remove it. 5. If you have phone accessories such as answering machines, speaker phones, cordless phones, security systems or night bells, make sure the equipment is working. If your phone service works without the added equipment, the problem may be with the accessories. If You Hear Noise On Your Line: It may be caused by the weather, aerial satellites, poor grounding or other conditions that are only temporary. If the noise persists, the troubleshooting tips listed above may help isolate the problem. The interference may also be caused by radio frequency signals from amateur citizens band (CB) and AM/FM broadcast stations. The installation of a modular filter, obtainable from most stores selling phone equipment may help. Because cordless phones operate on radio frequencies, they can also receive interference from radio transmitters. Contact your cordless phone equipment supplier or manufacturer for assistance with these problems. If You Hear A Rapid Busy Signal: While making a local or long distance call, it means that all phone circuits are busy. Wait a few minutes, then try your call again.
