TTY Use
A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text
Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows
people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have
speech or language disabilities, to communicate by

Your device is compatible with select TTY devices.
Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device
to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission.
Your device and TTY device will connect using a
special cable that plugs into your device’s headset
jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY
device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to
purchase the connector cable.

WARNING:
911 Emergency Calling

We recommend that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering points
(PSAPs), rendering some communications
unintelligible. The problem encountered appears
related to TTY equipment or software used by
PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry
and the PSAP community are currently working
to resolve this.
