Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Federal Relay Service is Operated by Sprint I beleive, the operator of many of the state relay services. Federal Relay is specifically for placing calls to and from gov't agencies. As far as I know, there's no difference except for that Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Good Grief, I think you had better come over to OZ - at least you can do your banking online, and you can check the records of all your authorised accounts. I think a move would be in order. On second thoughts you and Marcus in the same country - emmmm - I don't know. Perhaps a little greasing of the palm might change my mind ~|)))) .

Immediately !!! beep beep beep beep beep ) No stuffing round I'm standing here waiting for it !! ( beep beep beep beep beep beep ) Well all I can say is T G I F !!!!

But I don't know what Federal Relay you're talking about. The only 2 that I know are my state relay and 1-. And, FYI, when I was living down in the DC area, I would use 1- for all types of calls.
