[GreenKeys] i-TTY?

[Paul Heller]


Are you sure you mean ITTY and not iTelex? Your questions seem oriented towards iTelex. 

For iTelex:

I could not find one on ebay. Probably not. 
Who sells the hardware? Henning Treumann
Is there a fee for the service? No
Someone mentioned "they assign you a number".
Who are "they"? Again, Henning Treumann, but the “they” is a bunch of really smart guys in Germany.  

Steve Garrison explained iTelex in his previous email. It is a lot of fun to chat with others. You call a machine and either leave a message or start a conversation. 

For ITTY:

I could not find one on ebay. 
Who sells the hardware? It uses standard RTTY hardware which IS available on eBay. You need a teletype, a terminal unit (TU), and a something (old computer, old phone, Raspberry PI, etc) to receive the audio signal and send it to the TU. 
Is there a fee for the service? No
Someone mentioned "they assign you a number".
Who are "they"? The concept of numbers does not exist because you don’t call someone. 


ITTY is a service that broadcasts content using standard RTTY frequencies over the internet. It is partially explained at RTTY.com.  It does not have two way communication. It does have an autostart channel with is nice to use and a 24/7 broadcast service. In fact, all these email messages are mirrored on the autostart channel and are printed out on the teletypes of those of us who are listening to it. 

I hope this helps.
