Have anyone use Payphone TDD/TTY? they usually have one at airport, hotel, and some college.

Ultratec's Payphone TTY really suck when I was in early college years. It make easy cause the garble when I am try to make out of communication with someone.

I checked out at hotel when I was going to see computer expo. I find ATT's payphone TDD/TTY which is more like combine with computer. It's excellent TDD, wish I could see more like this one.

At airport, I don't know or remmy kind tdd which I required to tap "0" (zero button) to get keyboard open itself that allow me to type as when I am call someone.
 
Interesting. I haven't seen any of those in my area in my state yet. I had to find the help desk at the mall once to call home so my parents wouldn't freak out if I didn't get home until late due to heading more than 1 1/2 hours away from home with friend just cuz we were bored that day. I've never used a payphone TTY.
 
oh yeah I use a few time, but during my college year at Minnesota, I always do that for many time
 
I just look for one of those cybercafes with a computer. One time at a hotel, I asked the desktop manager to borrow their office's computer to send an urgent IM to my mother. Very friendly manager.

Thank god.. I still have a rare ATT TDD which I bought years ago for $500 in Ohio. Now ATT is no longer making TDDs. I love it..why? it has excellent features... it is easier than other TDDs.
 
There are a few of payphone TDDs at hotels, airports, and the like. Not that many... I wish they have set every one at every places.

There is one clerk who used to work for AT&T to design TDD. Right now, he work for Krown Manufacturing.
 
We have them here at RIT and they work great. I used them when making phone calls from my dorm hall. Now, with IP-Relay and SprintRelayOnline, I don't use TTY/TTD anymore.
 
I like the one in the airport. it is pretty cool. It also has video camera or something like that...
 
Pay TTY booth at my bank, but I can't read the 2 lines grrrr!

I wish my landlord would get a Krown console TTY next to intercom box, Krown TTY console (it's looks like a baby changer table in the public restrooms) have large print display for who are the legally visual impaired just like me!

At old apt have a Ultratec TTY drawer in single line display.
