Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a local 10-digit telephone number?
The 10-digit telephone number being described here is a number just like your home or BlackBerry telephone number. It has 10 digits (numbers) that look like 123-456-7890. When you started telephone service, your local telephone company gave you a number. When you purchased your BlackBerry, your dealer gave you a number for your BlackBerry. This 10-digit number is a different number to use with VRS and IP relay service. Why is a new 10-digit number needed? This new 10-digit number is required by the FCC to make VRS and IP relay calls. Each VRS or IP relay user must register with one or more Providers. What if you use more than one VRS or IP relay service? If you wish, you may contact each VRS or IP relay service provider that you use and ask for a new number from each one. Why do you need to keep your registration information current for each 10 digit number? In the case of emergency the registered address will be used for E911. Consumer Legal Advisory
