Benefits of IP RelayAvailability - IP Relay is available to anyone who has access to the Internet via a computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), Web-capable telephone, or other device.Convenience - Consumers do not need to go to a separate TTY or log off the Internet to use a TTY telephone line. IP Relay lets consumers make relay calls even when there is no TTY handy. In addition, consumers often say that using a computer screen and keyboard is easier than using a TTY. IP Relay permits much faster typing and allows users to see much more of the conversation on their computer screens than they can see with a TTY LCD window. IP Relay also allows users to print out and save conversations.Multiple Calls - IP Relay users can initiate multiple calls simultaneously, make conference calls, or browse the Internet while making a call.Quality - Transmission quality may be faster via IP Relay than via a TTY.
