Hi:

I am looking for textphone access numbers in Holland and
Switzerland.I've done an extensive Google search but haven't come up
with any. I am posting from the USA.

To dial to Holland: 011-31 and then the number;
For Switzerland, dial 011-41 and then the number;
Textphone is a device for those who are deaf.

When I dial the number, I should hear the sounds generated by the
textphone on the other end.

Dial any TDD/TTY/Textphone/Minicom number and you'll hear it.

TDD = Telecommunications Device for the Deaf

TTY = Telephone TYpewriter or TeleTYpewriter

TDD and TTY are terms used in USA and Canada. In most of Europe is its
called "textphone" and in the UK its called "minicom".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot

TDD/TTY/Textphone/Minicom use the Baudot code.

Baudot is still used in TDD [Telecommunications Device for the Deaf]. I
spend my free time dialing TDD numbers on my phone and enjoying the
sounds that are sent from the remote TDD back to my phone. However, I
would like to dial TDD numbers that are in Switzerland and Holland. I
want to hear the tones that result from the international exchanges
between Switzerland and USA as well as between Holland and USA along
with the tones that are generated by the remote TDDs in Holland and
Switzerland.

If I dial any international number I'll hear some wierd tones [the
negotiation between the various exchanges between my recipient and me]
as my call tries to connect. If the number goes to a TDD, I'll also
hear TDD tones along with the "distant" tones. How fun!

Any assistance on this matter is appreciated.


Thanks,
