The Relay Utah service was initiated in 1988 as one of the first Relay services established in the United States. Housed under the umbrella of the Public Service Commission, Relay Utah provides access to hearing assistive equipment and telephone relay services, through Sprint, to allow Utah citizens who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled more efficient communication.

More than 220,000 Utahns are either deaf or hard of hearing. Relay Utah strives to make it possible for these individuals and those who have difficulty with speech to independently communicate with each other and with the hearing community. Over 35,000 calls are made through Relay Utah every month.

Individuals who use text telephones and desire to communicate in Spanish can dial Relay Utah and inform the CA of their preferred message translation. The CA will relay the conversation in the preferred translation, including Spanish-to-Spanish, Spanish-to-English or English-to-Spanish.
