My mother is deaf. How can she initiate a TTY call?

My mother has her public mobile phone in TTY mode but cannot initiate a 711 call because an operator answers. Plus banks won't talk through a middle person. She cannot hear at all.

Thank you all. That IP relay service seems to fit her needs. I'm waiting for my call from her.

It was my bad saying TTY, as that's what she told me.

@Grinch some people seem to over complicate their lives by having 3 accounts over 2 different banks, and she's in Nanaimo. Thank you.

I am sure your mom can set up some banks for a POA do do the speaking for her.

@Wayneo Looks as though PM must provide IP relay service but not TTY. See: https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/phone/acces/mrsrt.htm

and https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/get-help/articles/telus-ip-relay
