I believe these have existed for years in the US too. I had a deaf friend in high school and she could call me using a service where they received typed messages from her. It was 20 years ago so I don't remember exactly how it worked on her end but I remember receiving those calls each time from a different voice.

This was back in the early 90s before the internet was pervasive, so we replicated databases via modems, and that involved coordination with the various admins. The relay operators were always quite clear when they called, letting me know they were acting as a relay for the guy, and despite our fairly technical discussions, it worked. I won't claim it was the easiest communications I've ever had, but we kept our systems connected.
