  • Publication number: 20090028300
    Abstract: An inbound call for a hearing impaired user may be routed to a server. The server may determine a destination for the call and obtain caller identifying information from the incoming call. A pop-up prompt may be displayed on a computing device of one or more recipients of the call. The pop-up prompt may comprise one or more input to allow the intended recipient(s) of the call to handle the incoming call by answering the call using a video relay service (VRS) agent, a text relay service agent (TRS), a messaging service, or the like. If a hearing impaired user answers the call, one of a plurality of in-house or remote VRS or TRS agents may be selected to provide relay services for the call. Outbound calls made by the hearing impaired user may be similarly assigned to one of a plurality of VRS or TRS agents.
