  Sprint Relay Hawaii 7-1-1

  
 

 

What is Relay Hawaii?
Relay Hawaii is a service overseen by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission that provides full telephone accessibility to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, and speech-disabled. Relay Hawaii provides the equipment and the service free of charge to all qualified residents of Hawai`i or kama`aina.

  

What is 7-1-1?

  

7-1-1 is a statewide telephone relay number that connects standard (voice) telephone users, hard-of-hearing, and/or speech-disabled people who use text telephones (TTYs).  The 7-1-1 relay service makes effective two-way telecommunications possible between people using the standard phones and TTY users.
