I have TTY at my home in Michigan so my parents could use them if they call me or Sequoias to connect so it will be more easier for them(because of my mom, she do TRULY hate Relay so much) and, our vp isn't work correct, my mom do have the VP also... So, we do connect in vp or text or email or im or calling... My mom would text me or call me on the VP first, but I didn't respond back or my pager break, so my mom could call me on the phone instead... TTY is wonderful work, I will rather to keeping it for calling and such like that because it's more forever and don't break down so easily... Because I had a tty that is so old, I had that since I was 4 years old until around 20 years old or so, it finally broke down... But my parents already bought me a new tty when I was maybe 16 years old.. They have that, so they can connect us so easily. Also, it is more easy for Sequoias' parents to connect us because they don't have the cell phone, when if they plan to come up here and want to let us know what's up than, know nothing... So I consider TTY is better than pretty anything.. Sorry for saying that, everybody
