Relay Iowa & Relay Missouri Relay makes it possible for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind or have difficulty speaking to make and receive telephone calls. Traditional Relay calls are based on TTY (also known as a TDD or text telephone). However, there are many different types of Relay calls, such as Voice Carry Over and Hearing Carry Over, that accom modate individual calling preferences. Here’s How Relay Works Relay calls are simple - just dial 711 or the appropriate toll free num ber and you will be connected with a highly trained Communication Assistant (CA) that will facilitate your call. Regardless of how you connect, the CA will “voice” everything you type to the other party, and type everything the other party says so that you can read the conversation on the screen of your assistive device. The CA is an invisible link between the calling parties. There are no restrictions or time limits on any call, and Relay is avail able 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you’re making personal calls or business calls, by law all Relay calls are confidential and there are no records or recordings of any Relay conversation. Specialized Services Relay 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. Since Relay offers a vari ety of services, please refer to the website or call your state Relay Customer Service for more detailed instruction on how a particular call is processed. Captioned Telephone, or CapTel, is also available and ideal for indi viduals 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.

Telecommunications Access Program And Telecommunications Access Iowa Are you, or someone you know, frustrated trying to use the telephone? Is it difficult to hear or understand the conversation? Do others have a hard time hearing you, or ask you to repeat yourself often? Is it challenging to dial a phone with small buttons or hard-to-read displays? Perhaps you don’t always hear the telephone ring or can’t get to the telephone in time before the caller hangs up. The Telecommunications Access Program (TAP) Missouri and Telecommunications Access Iowa can help you get specialized telecommunications equipment at little or no cost. For more information: in Missouri, call 800-647-8557 (voice) or 800 647-8558 (TTY) or visit www.at.mo.gov/telecom-access-program ; in Iowa, call 515-282-5099 or 800-606-5099 or visit teleiowa.com . Emergency Calls Please note that 7-1-1 is only to be used to reach Relay. In an EMERGENCY you should continue to use 9-1-1. For emergen cies, call 9-1-1 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 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. Customers’ Rights To Own And Provide Their Own Inside Station Wiring You have the right to provide your own inside wiring. Customers are not required to use the services of GRM Networks ® or SCC Networks ® for the installation of new inside wiring. Upon request, GRM Networks will provide technical information. You are responsible for maintaining all inside wiring. GRM Networks and SCC Networks will maintain inside wiring for single-line Business and Residence customers on a contractual basis. Inside wiring maintenance is also available for multi-line business customers. Contact your local business office for more information and current pricing.

Customers’ Rights Under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines, you may supply your own phone or other terminal equipment and connect it directly to the nationwide phone network. You are not required to obtain your phone or other terminal equipment from GRM Networks or SCC Networks in order to receive service. Rates and services are provided on an equal basis whether you provide your own equipment or obtain it from GRM Networks or SCC Networks. If you supply your own phone or other terminal equipment, it must be approved by the FCC, and you are responsible for its proper connection, maintenance and repair. GRM Networks or SCC Networks will verify the condition of a line if requested at no charge. A charge will apply for each visit by GRM Networks or SCC Networks to a customer’s premises in connection with a service difficulty when it is determined that the difficulty was due to a condition in a customer provided phone or other terminal equipment. Fraudulent Charges It is illegal to charge any calls to another person’s phone number or calling card without his/her permission. Persons placing such calls are subject to prosecution, and, if convicted, are subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. Harassing Calls State and federal law make it a crime to place obscene or harassing phone calls. The penalty is a fine and/or imprisonment. Unlawful Wiretapping It is a crime under federal and state laws to wiretap or otherwise intercept a phone call unless the consent of one or both of the parties actually participating in the call has been obtained. (The exceptions are properly authorized law enforcement offices, acting under court order, according to state and federal law.) The penalty for illegal wiretapping can be a fine and/or imprisonment.

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.
