i711 Wireless is included in the "catalog" on the T-Mobile Sidekick, so users can add it to their devices through a free, wireless download. After the download, the application installs in seconds, enabling users to immediately make relay calls from the Sidekick.

"The T-Mobile Sidekick is an extremely popular communication tool for many in the Deaf community," said Mark Stern, vice president of product management for GoAmerica. "Having fast and mobile access to i711.com relay services from the Sidekick has been one of our customers' topmost requests. i711 Wireless provides this access with i711.com's signature smart dialing and custom calling features. There's no easier way to make a relay call on the Sidekick."

"Shortly after I downloaded i711 Wireless, I got stuck in my car on an icy road," said Dorothy Griffith of Natick, Massachusetts. "I used i711 Wireless from my Sidekick to call my hearing son to come help me. He came right away, and I returned home safely. I do not know how I could live without i711 Wireless. It keeps me connected to my family wherever I go."

Smart Dialing, Custom Calling, and More

i711 Wireless is thoughtfully designed to run as a native application on the Sidekick, integrating much of the device's style and ease-of-use. Like calls made on the Web through i711.com, i711 Wireless calls benefit from smart dialing and custom calling features, making relay calls more convenient, faster, and customized for each user's relay preferences.

Smart dialing features include Stored Number Lookup and a Recent Calls list. Together, these enable the mobile relay user to instantly retrieve phone numbers and dial them in a snap.

Custom calling features include the ability to change font color, size, and more, so the conversation screen is tailored to the user's preferences. The user can also pre-enter operator instructions to maximize the efficiency of the relay call.

Finally, i711 Wireless includes other time-saving features, including Quick Text, integrated Address Book Editing, and Instant Number Save. Quick Text enables the user to send a large amount of text to the operator in a single keystroke, and is particularly useful for sending voice mail instructions or even placing standard orders at restaurants. Integrated Address Book Editing and Instant Number Save ensure the user's Sidekick address book is always up-to-date with frequently dialed phone numbers.

"i711 Wireless adds so much functionality to my mobile calling needs," said Gloria Farr of Fremont, California. "I especially like the address book integration; it really takes all the hassle out of making relay calls, and makes it so much simpler! I already use i711.com online, so it's great to have it on my Sidekick II as well."

For users who frequently make TTY calls in addition to relay calls, i711 Wireless includes the optional Wireless Toolkit. User-activated from within i711 Wireless, this collection of communication tools offers more communication choices, including live TTY calling, TTY messaging, and voice- to-text messaging. The Wireless Toolkit also includes mobile access to open captioned movie information, and easy user access to emergency roadside assistance.
