What happens to my captions once the call is over?

September 26, 2018

As soon as you disconnect your call, the captions disappear from the communications assistant station. In keeping with Federal Communication Commission (FCC) regulations governing Relay Services, no records of any call content are recorded or stored by caption communications assistants.

If you have questions about ClearCaptions service, for home and mobile call use, contact us online or call 1-866-246-7850.
