Equipment Distribution

The Montana Telecommunications Access Program (MTAP) is an agency of the government of Montana that offers assistive equipment and services to Montanans whose disabilities make it hard for them to use the phone.

The program distributes special telephone equipment to Montanans who qualify. MTAP Equipment Specialists will deliver phones right to your home, set up the equipment, and show you how to use it, all at no cost to Montanans who qualify.

To apply online, visit MTAP or contact:

Call Me Cards

For your convenience, we have created "Call-Me Cards" that are simple to print and distribute to friends, family and business contacts. Once shared, these cards provide all the necessary information anyone needs in order to contact you through 7-1-1. We've also included some helpful hints when using relay. Simply print the front and back side of the card and write your name and phone number in the designated areas. You'll want to keep your personalized cards readily available so that you can pass them out to individuals who wish to contact you.

For best results, these cards are designed to print on Avery Card Stock 5881. When printing, you do not need to choose "shrink to fit the page."
