Sprint Relay has given my life new meaning.
For those unacquainted with the service, here is how it goes:
log on to www.sprint.com, scroll down till you see "sprint relay services"
then it will ask you in this box to type in the phone number of the person you wanna relay. type it in with the area code. Then it will connect you to this thing that looks like an AIM box. Basically what is happening is that this program, intended for use by the deaf (which would be the ones at teh computer), uses a LIVE sprint go between person to say aloud all the things the deaf person is typing into the text box. The person on the line who is being "called" can respond to the sprint relay person and after everything they must say "go ahead". Saying go ahead gives the sprint person the signal to type their response to the deaf person.
This is FREE for EVERYONE. The capabilities for prank calls are endless. Also, the most fun is when the person you are "calling" is int he room with you... Then you can distinguish the gender of the relay person and make comments adjust to that. For example, today I had a man recite to Zanner : "I want to lick the sweat off of your salty nut sack." and then Zanner replied with "ok...go ahead"
HAHAHAHA
