Hi Damon > The BBC is on a PBX digital telephone corporate system. >Dialing 1470 won't do any good. Ok but they could still have system so that a number is presented! >Also ... various parts of the BBC subscribe to Typetalk, yes. Small correction, nobody subscribes to Typetalk! Few years ago one had to have an account with Typetalk to make a call via Typetalk, However, since BT set up "TextDirect" no accounts with Typetalk are now needed. For a hearing person to call a deaf person (or call a Deafblind person that has the right set-up) you simply dial: 18002 before the full number. If call is answered by a textphone, an operator will come on the line to relay what you say by typing. The call will be charred directly by your telephone service provider.
