Announced by Sprint earlier this month, Sprint Relay Wireless connects people who are deaf with people who are hearing through the telecommunications relay service. "WyndTell service has been a prominent part of the Deaf community for nearly seven years," said Joe Karp, vice president of marketing for GoAmerica. "By making Sprint Relay Wireless available to the thousands of WyndTell customers across the U. S., we're significantly expanding access to this important communication tool. For our deaf consumers, being able to use Sprint Relay at their convenience and at their choice of location is a big benefit." Developed for Sprint by GoAmerica, Sprint Relay Wireless extends the availability of Sprint's popular Sprint Relay OnlineSM service to a variety of wireless devices, enabling people who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech-impaired to communicate using relay quickly and easily while on the go. "In the short time since we announced the service, Sprint Relay Wireless has generated a lot of interest," said Mike Ligas, region vice president, Sprint Relay. "We believe that adding mobility to our top-performing relay services will be a home run with consumers that rely on Sprint Relay to help them communicate." Sprint Relay Wireless will come pre-installed as a part of all WyndTell service plans on RIM handhelds beginning May 24. Once available, current WyndTell users can download the service by visiting www.wyndtell.com/relay. New Connect-A-Friend Program Rewards WyndTell Users Separately, GoAmerica also announced its new Connect-A-Friend program, a web-based referral program that rewards WyndTell customers when friends and family they refer sign up for WyndTell service. "Recent surveys have revealed a strong interest in a rewards program for our customers," added Karp. "Connect-A-Friend is a straightforward, easy-to-use rewards program that makes telling friends and family about WyndTell as easy as sending an email message." Customers refer people by including their email address in a message sent to a special email address. When people who are referred to the service sign up, they and their referring friend each receive a $25 service credit after 60 days.
