Telephone Relay Service
Call 119 via sign language and text interpretation
The telephone relay service is for those who have difficulty accessing the telephone, such as those who are deaf or have difficulty speaking.
This service allows communication with the other party of the call by making a phone call through a sign language interpreter operator.
From July 1, 2021, it is now possible to respond to emergency calls (110, 119, 118) in addition to calling general telephones.
Procedures for calling 119 via the telephone relay service
- Launch the app and log in.
- Tap the emergency call button and select "119 (Fire / Emergency)". (or dial "119")
- Tell the interpreter operator the location of the request. (The fire department that connects telephones differs depending on the requested location. First of all, be sure to tell us the request location. )
- When the interpreter operator and the fire department are connected by telephone, talk to the firefighters via the interpreter. (We will check the location and listen to the situation.) Please answer calmly.
- When the call is over, tap "End"
