When you call 911 through VRS, we’ll move your call to the front of the line. When you tell the interpreter your emergency, they’ll ask your location so you can confirm you’re either at your home address or you’re away from home. They will relay information between you and the emergency services, staying on the line with you until you get help.
Yes! We created Zoom meeting with Sorenson Relay to walk you through how to get a Sorenson interpreter for your virtual meetings.

Registration is required for any Sorenson Video Relay services.
FCC rules permit you to port your telephone number to the VRS provider of your choice. If you request a new number, Sorenson will provide you with one for the geographic area where you live or work. To ensure proper routing of 911 calls, it is important that you provide, and update in the event it changes, the physical address (i.e., the Registered Location) from which you are placing the call. You can update your Registered Location by calling 800-659-4810 or by visiting https://sorenson.com/support/vrs/manage-account/. Emergency calls made via internet-based TRS may not function the same as traditional E911 service. For example, you may not be able to dial 911 if there is an internet-service failure or if you lose electrical power, and your 911 call may not be routed correctly if you have not updated your Registered Location. Hearing point-to-point video users will not be able to place emergency calls. For more information on the process of obtaining ten-digit numbers and the limitations and risks associated with using Sorenson’s VRS to place a 911 call, please visit Sorenson’s website: www.sorenson.com/legal.
