Another thing to discuss regarding TTY--
I was told that I should keep my TTY for emergency calls-- when electricity goes out, or whatever reasons....
Since TTY is based on a "landwire" and it has a back-up battery that can perform calls...
(it happened to me once-- blackout in my home at nighttime when I was 11-years-old, I freaked out and called my mom... and I kept TTY on as my "light" because of the darkness)
Is this true?? That TTY should be kept for emergency calls (and 911) since it uses a landwire compared to VP etc which uses LAN/Ethernet (for internet)...
