What is the Typetalk number for Oxford City Council?
RNID Typetalk is the only national telephone relay service which enables deaf, deafblind, deafened, hard of hearing and speech-impaired people to communicate with hearing people anywhere in the world. RNID Typetalk provides a link between the textphone user and the hearing person. The link is a highly trained RNID Typetalk Operator who understands the needs of deaf and speech-impaired people and provides a discreet and confidential service.
Textphone users dial direct using the 18001 prefix before the number of the person they would like to speak to and RNID Typetalk Operator joins the line to relay the conversation.
The textphone user will then type their part of the conversation. A RNID Typetalk Operator will read exactly what is typed to the hearing person. The hearing person replies and the RNID Typetalk Operator will type exactly what is said so the textphone user can read the response on their textphone display panel.
