Hi Damon

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.

Regards,
Derek
