I had someone call my cell phone using this service once. He got the operator to recite to me the lyrics of "Ice Ice Baby."

How can they do this all for free? Is the government paying for this under the pretense it is helping diabled people?

I have a short funny (hopefully) story about relay calls.
Many years ago I was at a dominos and a relay call came in. I was getting frustrated at the difficulty and time it was taking. At one point I said out loud something like 'This sucks. I wish he would buy pizzas somewhere else". The operator said she'd let that go, but after that she'd have to relay everything I said. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

It's a service for Deaf people. People who abuse it are douches.

In addition to being used by the disabled and those who are making prank calls, relays are often used in fraud. Not sure of the exact angle, but the same guys with the Nigerian email scams use the relay system - that may explain the father-in-law info.

I have no idea with this particular call, but a legitimate reason for such a call could be for a person who is unable to speak. [/ QUOTE ] Or unable to hear, which is why I use it - I don't really care for it because people don't like it, but I can't hear well enough to use regular phones. Unfortunately you do get some idiots who abuse it, and other idiots who think people with disabilities are somehow subhuman. (We seem to have some of both in this thread) |
