Sprint's Mobile IP Relay Service Brings Calling to the Deaf

Oct 3, 2011, 2:18 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Sprint today announced the availability of a new Android application that will allow deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-disabled customers to make and receive phone calls on their Android smartphones. Sprint Mobile IP Relay assigns each customer a 10-digit number, which can then be used to access the service from their device. It offers features such as the ability to: make/receive voice calls; save conversations; adjust font size, colors, and backgrounds; access the device's contact list, call history, and live Sprint Replay customer service reps; and make 911 emergency calls. The application requires Android devices running Android 2.1 and up. It works on Sprint's 3G and 4G networks, as well as Wi-Fi.
