Did you know that Voice Carry-Over has additional features built right into the service? Here’s a few of them and how they work!
VCO to TTY: The communications assistant types what you, the VCO user, says to the TTY user. The TTY user types directly to your VCO phone.
VCO to VCO: The communications assistant serves as “ears” for both VCO users by typing what is said to both VCO phones and/or TTYs.
Two-Line VCO: Two-line VCO allows you, the VCO user, to use one telephone line for speaking directly to another party, and another telephone line to receive the other party’s typed responses. This feature provides a more natural flow of conversation and eliminates the need to say “Go Ahead” (“GA”).

Alaska Relay is a no-cost public service that enables people with hearing loss or speech loss who enjoy their full telephone accessibility.
