IP Relay

Does anyone mess around with this thing??

I know it is really mean and I use to do it all the time, but I bet there are people out there that still do.

If you do not know what it is, go on your AIM buddy list and send an IM to the s/n "My IP Relay"

There is a website that have these tonque twisters so the operators get confused... LOL

I really don't get whats the objective of this?

its a phone service for deaf people. you use it online and type what you want the operator to say and they say it to the other person on the end of the phone. but like he is saying some people use it for prank phone calls.

the original design of this was to allow people with disabilities to still have a conversation on the phone.....

the user types and the "relay" person actually speaks on the phone what is typed... then the relay types back to you the response...

this is more commonly used as a prank or to scam company's. i have talked to these relays a few times and every time has been to buy computers with a credit card.
