Additional Services


Directory Assistance

Kansas Relay will relay Directory Assistance (DA) calls between TTY users and the Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) DA operator.​

Once the caller makes the DA request, the Communications Assistant will contact the appropriate DA operator.​

After obtaining the number, the caller may choose to place the call through relay or dial it directly TTY to TTY.


Voicemail/Answering Machine Retrieval

TTY users can request Kansas Relay to retrieve messages from their voice answering machines or voicemail.

To request answering machine retrieval, type “AMR” with instructions or password and then “GA” (Go Ahead.)

The Communications Assistant will type, “PLS PLCE YOUR HANDSET NEXT TO YOUR ANS MACHINE AND TURN ON GA.” Place your handset on the speaker part of the answering machine until all messages have been retrieved.

Then place the handset back on the TTY and type “GA.” The Communications Assistant will type your messages.
