Messaging with a TTY (Teletype)

Overview

This page describes features and operations that are available on most messaging systems, but not all. If something on your system does not seem to work properly, please contact your system administrator for help.

Messaging prompts will appear on your TTY, telling you what to do at each step. When messaging prompts you to dial something, you should use a phone that has buttons (a touchtone phone rather than a rotary phone). The only time you should type on your TTY is when you see the "GA" prompt.

Any time you need assistance with messaging, you can dial *H or *4 to find out where you are in the system or to see a list of available options.
