Speech Impaired

The Pennsylvania Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

TTY users can reach the TRS Center by simply dialing 711 or 1-800-654-5984. People who want to communicate with TTY users but do not have a TTY can do so by calling the TRS Center at 711 or 1-800-654-5984.

If you are deaf and use a text telephone (TTY) to communicate, you qualify for a discount on basic rate local toll calls and/or domestic long distance calls if D&E Long Distance is your local toll or long distance company. Click here to learn more about discounts for your disability.

D&E offers services that let a deaf person see who's calling before you answer the phone. Call Customer Service and ask what services are best for assisting with your disability. Here are a few:
