\n\t\"Sorenson<\/a>SIPRelay® service will permanently cease on July 31, 2013
\n\tat 4:00 p.m. MDT<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe were grateful to provide the service for over 8 years and appreciate everyone who used SIPRelay. The new FCC compensation rates for IP Relay are too low to provide the quality IP Relay service our customers deserve. This is an unfortunate example of an FCC decision that was not based on the realities of the market and the needs of our SIPRelay users.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo continue using your SIPRelay number, you must port it to a different IP Relay provider. To find a list of alternate IP Relay providers, see http:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/encyclopedia\/trs-providers<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis change does not affect SVRS®. If you use ASL, you can transition your mobile communications to ntouch® mobile! Learn more about ntouch mobile at http:\/\/www.svrs.com\/ntouchmobile<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
