Iowans with hearing impairments often use a TTY, or Text Telephone. If you are receiving their call, and don’t have a TTY, they will reach you through Relay Iowa, a free phone service. Relay Iowa staff will call you and forward the message, verbally or electronically. You can also call Relay Iowa (1-800-735-2942) to communicate with someone who uses a TTY.
