MICHIGAN RELAY CENTER (MRC)

The Michigan Relay Center allows deaf, hard of hearing, and speech-impaired individuals with a TTY to communicate with anyone within the state.

To communicate with someone who is hearing-impaired, hard-of-hearing, or speech-impaired, simply call the Michigan Relay Center toll-free at 1-800-649-3777 or simply dial 711.

Tell the Relay Representative the name, area code and phone number of the person you would like to reach. You may also have to tell the Relay Representative the name of your long distance company if it is a toll call so it can be properly billed. While you talk as though you were speaking directly to the TTY user, the Relay Representative is relaying your conversation via the TTY system.
