How Do I Use Relay Service?

What Equipment Do I Need to Use Relay?
The most common telephone device used to make a relay call is a TTY (text telephone). There are other telephone devices available depending on the type of relay service used. North Carolina residents who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind or speech disabled are eligible to receive TTY equipment through NC Telecommunications Equipment Distribution Program (TEDP) at no charge if they qualify based on income restrictions.
