7-1-1 or 1-877-826-6977

Voice Carry-Over (VCO) allows deaf or hard-of-hearing users to speak directly to a hearing person. If you are a late-deafened person who has difficulty hearing over the phone, VCO is the perfect communication solutiion for you.

When the hearing person speaks to you, a Relay Operator will serve as your "ears" and type everything said to you on a TTY or text display.

When you dial 1-877-826-6977, your calls are automatically handled by a Relay Operator who specializes in all types of VCO calls, such as VCO to Voice, VCO to TTY, VCO to VCO, or VCO to HCO. With this service, you no longer have to specify your call type to the Relay Operator.

VCO with Privacy
This feature is similar to the standard VCO feature. However, the Relay Operator will not hear the VCO user's voice and only type the hearing person's responses back to the VCO user. Request privacy by typing/voicing to the operator "Privacy ON."
