Our office will be closed from Monday, December 23, 2024, thru Wednesday, January 1, 2025, in observance of the holidays. We apologize, but our toll-free numbers will not be able to take messages while our business is closed. You may leave a message on our website chat feature or email us at customercare@ftri.org, and a customer care representative will respond to you on January 2, 2025. FTRI wishes you happy holidays!

Hearing Carry-Over (HCO)

People who are hearing and unable to speak directly on the phone due to a speech disability can use Florida Relay Hearing Carry-Over (HCO). HCO allows users with a speech disability to listen to the other party. The HCO user types his/her conversation for the relay operator to voice to the standard telephone user, and the standard telephone user speaks directly back to the HCO user.

Alternate Phone Number

If the phone from which you are calling does not accept 7-1-1, we have a list of dedicated toll free numbers for each call-type that you can utilize for the same great service.
