Making Relay calls is simple with Georgia Relay. We offer an array of telecommunications services specifically designed with users' needs in mind. Here are six things to keep in mind before you begin your first Relay call. 📞

1️⃣ Dial 7-1-1 to begin your Georgia Relay call.

2️⃣ Say GA or “Go Ahead’ when you finish your part of the conversation, this alerts the other person to respond.

3️⃣ Communication Assistants (CAs) are operators who are trained to handle any type of Relay call. They relay messages back and forth when needed.

4️⃣ TTYs are Text Telephones. People who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have difficulty speaking typically use a TTY to make calls through Georgia Relay.

5️⃣ If you hear, “Hello, this is Georgia Relay”, DON’T hang up. A skilled CA will help you through the call and show you the benefits of our services.

6️⃣ You will not be charged for local or long-distance calls. Payments are necessary for international calls, directory assistance, pay phones, and pay-per-call services.
