Hi,
has anyone actually used the PIP textphone for the hard of hearing?
The number I have is 0800 121 4493 and I’ve dialled it using the Relay UK app but it just sounds like a fax machine and then disconnects.

Good afternoon @Fibleepy. I haven't personally used Relay so not sure if I'm saying something obvious, but the PIP helpline says when using Relay you use 18001 then 0800 121 4433. Is that what you're trying?0

Thanks Adrian. The Relay app is set to dial 18001 automatically before a phone number but the number you have quoted (ending 4433) is different to the number I’ve tried (ending 4493) so I’ll try your number tomorrow.0

The number you’ve been using ending 4493 is incorrect. Adrian’s number is correct.

Have you managed to get through to them ok yet @Fibleepy and, if so, how did this go? Please feel free to let us know how this goes and if there's anything else we can do to support you0
-
yes it worked thanks! It typically took a while for a pip assistant to answer but I had a chat to the Relay assistant whilst waiting.0

Ah I didn't spot the small difference in numbers, I'm glad you were able to get through @Fibleepy.0

Me too! Thanks for your help Adrian0
