  16. This list of state relays is current as of 11/01/92.  Accuracy is
  17. NOT guaranteed--corrections and updates welcomed.  Check with
  18. individual relay for more information regarding specific
  19. features.
  20.  
  21. The list is divided into four main parts.  The first part lists
  22. the state, phone numbers, and modes for each state's relay.  The
  23. letters beside each number indicate the preferred connection
  24. mode: "t" for TTY/TDD/TT, "a" for ASCII, "v" for voice.  Some
  25. states not only have seperate phone numbers for different modes,
  26. but another set of numbers for the location of the caller as
  27. well.
  28.  
  29. The second part lists any special features of the relay.  "VCO"
  30. indicates the availability of a "voice bridge" or "voice
  31. carryover" (often this means hearing carryover as well).
  32. "Gender" indicates that a caller may request a male or female
  33. relay agent, if available.  "Bilingual" indicates the
  34. availability of bilingual agents (however, the languages
  35. supported vary).  "Int'l" indicates that the relay is capable of
  36. dialing outside the U.S. (however the calling area may vary--some
  37. can dial only to North America while others can dial world-wide,
  38. for example--and some offer Maritime ship-to-shore calling).
  39.  
  40. The third part lists restrictions the relay may have.  "Out"
  41. indicates that the relay can only make interstate calls
  42. "outbound" from inside the state.  Out-of-state callers may not
  43. be able to call into the relay (some "800" numbers are actually
  44. regional in nature and not dialable from all parts of the
  45. country).  "Time" indicates there may be a time-limit on calls
  46. made through the relay, especially during busy calling periods.
  47. "No-Int" indicates no interstate calling is available, even to
  48. residents of the relay state.  "Calls" indicate there may be a
  49. limit to the number of calls placed through the relay during one
  50. call to relay.
  51.  
  52. No attempt has been made to indicate billing practices.  Billing
  53. options and restrictions vary WIDELY, by state.
  54.  
  55. The forth area lists the service provider and a customer
  56. "outreach" contact, if possible.  This may be the address of the
  57. relay itself or a person affiliated with the relay whose job it
  58. is to deal with the public.  Some relay facilities or outreach
  59. contacts may be responsible for more than one state.  An outreach
  60. labelled "interim" means that this contact is temporary.  Letters
  61. beside phone numbers have the same meaning as the relay phone
  62. numbers, with the addition of "f" for FAX and "m" for voice-mail
  63. systems.  Note that Sprint has a 24 hour relay Customer Service
  64. number available for all the states it serves: 800-676-3777 (vt)
