This Technical Report analyses the description of telecommunications relay services – as specified in Recommendation ITU-T F.930 – as the potential basis for the assignment of global numbering resources in international, cross-country and cross-language contexts.

The goal of Recommendation ITU-T F.930 is to attain functional equivalency for telecommunications between people with disabilities and hearing/speaking users for international calls, calls that involve language translation, and situations where users are roaming outside their home countries.

A further aim is to enable multiple providers even in different countries to interwork with each other and allow users to enjoy the same or a similar experience to that of a hearing/speaking person, irrespective of where their telephone calls originate and terminate.
