3. Using your voice, give the OPR the number that you want to call, followed by "Go Ahead".
   
   
4. When the person you are calling answers, you can speak directly to him or her. Please remember to say "Go Ahead" when you are ready for your caller's response. This alerts the OPR to begin typing their reply back to you.
   
   
5. If you would like to make another call, don't hang up. The OPR will remain on the line, ready to assist you, the moment your prior conversation ends.
