One problem notice is when they call, they explain to the person about what is relay and so on, the person hungs up not knowing the deaf person is calling via relay service. They assume that someone in relay wants to talk to them. I am like saying, duh? because have they ever thought if they go to a foregein country and use a translater. The translater is like a third person and that same idea is with the relay service. So, how can we deaf get the relay to educate the general public about relay services and not to fear or to learn that relay is an interpreter for the deaf person who is making the phone call? I wish something was done to fix that problem.Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03967222412687875337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906751063718382074.post-39802861865198511652008-06-20T14:58:00.000-04:002008-06-20T14:58:00.000-04:00What's done differently out there than elsewhere?What's done differently out there than elsewhere?RSGeo-007http://www.blogger.com/profile/05419276476926579623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906751063718382074.post-48822722136343580342008-06-20T00:32:00.000-04:002008-06-20T00:32:00.000-04:00That doesn't happen here in OC, California.That doesn't happen here in OC, California.OCDAChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04746602479574653008noreply@blogger.com
