To apply online, go to: www.relayiowa.com/tai/ or call 1-800-606-5099 Voice/TTY. Emergency Calls Please note that 7-1-1 is only to be used to reach Relay Iowa. In an EMERGENCY you should continue to use 911. For emergencies, call 911 or your local emergency service TTY number directly. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all 911 centers have TTY and be prepared to handle emergency calls placed in this manner. Relay Iowa will make every effort to assist you in an emergency. However, it is important to understand that relay centers are not 911 centers and do not assume responsibility for emergency calls. Relay Iowa and the Iowa Equipment Distribution Program are both programs of the Iowa Utilities Board.
