Good point sir...so much for the "good old days"!
I have had a couple of deaf hobbyist call me.... Well the "phone center" TTY person called me... LOL
NOW... just how am I to "talk" to an operator? NOT!
But...... this is how I handle it.....

I DO NOT answer any text that I receive.. Although, I do make the exception for the deaf... When I get a call from the TTY, I will have the person text me from that point... and proceed as if I was actually on a verbal call. Getting the referral info and taking it from there..

Where there is a will, there is a way....

Gotta LOVE the HOBBY!

Similar to a TTY in that there is an operator but all they
do is type what you say. It reads out onto a display on
my phone or onto my computer if I have it connected.
I just speak into the phone and it is basically like a
normal phon conversation except there is a 3 second delay
while the operator types what you say so that I can read it.
Buy yeah, the idea of someone being a go between
when you are setting up a session would be awkward.
Your point about the texts is kind of what starte this whole
subject. I know some of the ladies aren't quite as technology
driven. I don't want to bug them with an endless supply
of emails and PMs but some don't monitor their email
quite as much.
