persons who are deaf, hard-of-hearing and speech-disabled to
communicate on the telephone. The service allows a hearing person to
use a traditional telephone while the person with a disability
communicates through a tele-typewriter (TTY) with a communication
assistant, who relays the hearing person's spoken words by typing them
back to the TTY user.
The purpose of the session is to inform customers of relay
updates and to listen to their feedback.
Interpreters and refreshments will be provided. There also will
be a raffle for a free AT&T 8840 TTY.

manager, at (908) 231-6104 (TTY). Voice callers should call 1 (800)
