How does the Nebraska Relay System work when a deaf person calls a hearing person?
Answer — When a hearing person answers the phone, an operator will say, “This is CA, No. ABC. Someone is calling you through the Nebraska Relay System. Have you received a relay call before?” Answer “no” to have the operator explain the process. Then, begin conversing through an operator. Operators have a TTY to assist in dictating to you what the deaf person types. Your reply will be typed by the operator to the deaf person.
