A free service that provides full telephone accessibility to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, and speech disabled. Whether calling on a standard telephone or a text telephone (TTY, a special phone with a typewriter-style keyboard), relay makes communication simple. This service is available all the time.

• Dial the TTY number, 711 or 1-800-947-3529.
• A specially trained Wisconsin Relay communications assistant (CA) will answer.
• The CA acts as an impartial, two-way "relay" in the conversation, reading messages typed on the TTY to the hearing person while typing responses on the TTY back to the deaf caller.
• Relay users no longer need to memorize toll-free numbers to make a relay call. Simply dial 7-1-1 to connect with the state relay provider. Confidentiality is assured.
• Using relay is easy and offers access to the world for Wisconsin residents with hearing loss who are seeking two-way telecommunication.
