Answering a Call with Captions
Because the captions are provided by a Captioning Service, the
person calling you must first connect with the service in order
for you to receive captions during the call. Give your callers the
toll-free Captioning Service voice number (see page 1).

Service voice number (see page 1).

The caller will hear a recording:
“Thank you for calling the
Captioned Telephone Service. Please enter the area code
and phone number of the person you are calling followed
by the pound sign.”
After the caller enters your telephone
number and the pound sign (#), the Captioning Service
automatically dials your number.
