TTY USER’S ETIQUETTE

Here are some commonly accepted abbreviations that reduce the need to type long phrases.

GA means “Go Ahead”. When you finish typing your sentence or message, press GA key or type GA to show it’s the other party’s turn to respond. For example,

“HI, THIS IS JANE, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? GA”. When you see GA at the end of an incoming sentence or message, it is your turn to respond.

Q is often used instead of a question mark. For example, “HOW ARE YOU Q”.

SK means “Stop Keying”. Press SK key or type SK when you are ready to end the conversation. Typing GA followed by SK is a polite way to say good-bye and to give the other party a last chance to respond before hanging up. For example, “NICE TALKING WITH YOU SK”.

Type SKSK to show that you’re hanging up. For example, “BYE NOW SKSK”.
