Here's how it works: Placing Calls
- Using your TTY, dial 711.
- The Communication Assistant/"CA" will answer by identifying the Relay. The CA will then type “NUMBER TO CALL PLS Q GA.”
- Provide the area code and telephone number you want to call and any additional instructions.
- Once the call is connected, the CA will ask the person you are calling if he/she is familiar with Relay. If the person is not, the CA will explain how Relay works before the conversation begins.
- The CA will type everything said by the other party, word for word, along with any background noises.
- When you see “GA,” it is your turn to respond. Type “GA” when you are ready for a response. The conversation will proceed in this manner until the call is complete.
- When you have completed your side of the conversation, type “GA to SK” and the CA will close your call.
