Here are steps for you to register and it will only take a few minutes:

1. Visit http://www.hyper-reach.com/monroesignup.html

2. Complete the request information in each boxes. It's very important that you select the correct municipality you actually live in, not mailing address. for instance, many of people wh live in Town of Greece have Rochester mailing address. It is very important to register for Greece!! The system will only display streets listed for selected municipality to complete registration.

3. At bottom of the page is a drop down box, where you select if you want to receive message in audio, text or both format.

4. You can only register a mobile telephone for one address. You can not register to receive notification for multiple locations such as both home and workplace. However, if you move you change your information by simply registering again. The system will accept the latest entry.

Registration is only needed for mobile telephones. All traditional phones in Monroe County are already registered in the system!

If you have more questions or concern, feel free to contact a member of the Emergency Communications Department at 585 528-2200 (voice). Or email John M. Merklinger at jmerklinger@monroecounty.gov.

You can apply for a toll free videophone number from Sorenson. This number can be passed out to both voice and direct VP users. When voice users call the number, they are automatically linked up to Sorenson Relay and connect the voice user with the videophone user. Direct VP users can use the number to call for direct vp conversations.

In addition, there is a IP relay service for blackberry mobile users.

Sorenson also provides an IP Relay service over the internet. You can create a shortcut on your desktop. http://www.siprelay.com/

One of two modems used in the first TTY call in 1964 is now on display at RIT's Wallace Memorial Library. The device was not only a technological breakthrough, it allowed persons with hearing loss the opportunity to directly communicate via traditional telephone for the first time.
