Sprint Relay

Communicating in daily life should be fast, easy and reliable. That's why Sprint Relay connects callers who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, or who have speech disabilities, with standard telephone users via a Text Telephone (TTY), the Internet, a wireless device, a video phone or a CapTel™ phone.
In addition to traditional Relay services, Sprint provides a wide range of customized features, specifically for the Federal Government, to allow all users to communicate in a comfortable and simple manner. Some of these include:
Federal IP Relay Service — Allows deaf and hard of hearing federal/military employees to place relay calls over the Internet between U.S. locations and territories. Also allows members of the general public who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate with federal/military employees.
Federal Video Relay Service — This free service allows Relay users to use a videophone or web camera, and Internet connection to translate a signed conversation via a Sprint Video Interpreter.
Federal CapTel — Provided by Sprint and developed by Ultratec, Inc., this service captures and transcribes spoken text from incoming and outgoing calls onto the user's CapTel phone.
