Do not just push buttons


That is no way to communicate.

 

If you are Deaf, and you do not have a TTY, use Nextalk to call your home/cell phone, then make a 3-way call to 9-1-1.

 

If you do not have a computer, use your Sidekick or other wireless device to use the relay service to call your home phone, then make a 3-way call to 9-1-1.

 

If you do not have a home phone line, use SMS to send a text message to one of the relay service IM bots, such as the AIM bot ThatsHamilton, to call your cell phone, then make a 3-way call to 9-1-1. (Use SMS. Do not use AIM directly, as you cannot use voice and data at the same time.)

 

If you do not have a home/cell phone, use VRS or internet relay to call 9-1-1. (Internet relay may refuse a 9-1-1 call. URRelay accepts 9-1-1 calls.)

 

If you have neither a TTY nor a computer/pager, pick up the phone, dial 9-1-1 and begin coughing or something, so the operator will hear a human being in trouble on the line and not think a 3-year-old picked up the phone and acidentally dialed 9-1-1.
