In Canada and the U.S., the 711 telephone number is used for the Telecommunications Relay Service to translate from TDD for the deaf to speech, and vice versa. The relay service allows deaf people to converse with the hearing over the phone through an operator. 711 is one of eight N11 codes for abbreviated dialing in the North American Numbering Plan. In the U.S., every phone company is required to connect persons who dial 711 to a TRS call center from a working number. In July 2007 the Federal Communications Commission ruled that the 711 requirement extended to VOIP telephony.

Syracuse University

In addition at Syracuse University 7-1-1 is used as the On Campus Emergency Number along with #SU from a mobile or cellular device. When a person on campus dials this number they're directed to a Syracuse University Ambulance or Department of Public Safety emergency dispatcher who will take the call and dispatch the appropriate authorities. Typically only the University Ambulance Service or University Law Enforcement will be sent unless other services are deemed necessary. For more information Visit the SU Ambulance Website.
