We're Deaf. We built the app we wanted to use. Your phone calls, your conversations, and your community, in one place. CONNECT — your calls Call anyone through VRS, with a certified ASL interpreter on screen. This is your phone service, not a favor. There's no charge to you — VRS is paid for through the federal TRS fund. No explaining yourself first. No hoping the person on the other end knows how relay works. You dial, and you have the conversation. Your call history follows your account, not one device. Tap any call to call back. Need an interpreter in the room instead? VRI puts one on screen for an appointment, a meeting, or anywhere the conversation has to happen in person. CONTACTS — bring your people with you Import straight from your phone, or a CSV on the web. Favorite the people you call most. Duplicates merge on their own. Your contacts and your call history are tied to your account, not to one device, so they are there wherever you sign in. CHAT — message your people Text or video message anyone on Tive. Signing to a signer needs nobody in between. MIX — your feed The part of Tive that isn't a phone call. Post what's on your mind, follow who you want, and see what everyone's up to. HUB — Deaf news News, events, and resources, pulled from the sources the community already reads.
