Hi:

I am looking for textphone access numbers in Holland and Switzerland.
I've done an extensive Google search but haven't come up with any. I
am posting from the USA.

To dial to Holland: 011-31 and then the number;
For Switzerland, dial 011-41 and then the number;
Textphone is a device for those with deafness.

When I dial the number, I should hear the sounds generated by the
textphone on the other end.

Dial any TDD/TTY/Textphone/Minicom number and you'll hear it.

TDD = Telecommunications Device for the Deaf

TTY = Telephone TYpewriter or TeleTYpewriter

TDD and TTY are terms used in USA and Canada. In most of Europe is its
called "textphone" and in the UK its called "minicom".

TDD/TTY/Textphone/Minicom use the Baudot code.

Any assistance on this matter is appreciated.

Thanks,

Radium
