Relay Texas

Customize Your Call

This feature helps you to make relay calls more easily and tailor your preferences to your specific needs. This database stores information that will help agents to automatically identify your calling preferences while setting up your call. You can add 10 frequently-dialed numbers to the customer database or make special notes regarding your relay call preferences (such as designating a long distance carrier), allowing your calls to be processed faster and more efficiently.

It is highly recommended that you use the database only with your home phone line. The database may not work properly on business lines or by pressing 8 or 9 before the dial out number because the number you are calling from is not always the same number that the Relay receives (especially in PBX environments).
