Receiving a Call
Standard Voice Call
When an incoming call is received the telephone rings and the
strobe light will flash (if set to flash). If the caller can be identified
(due to subscription to a Caller Display service), the caller’s
telephone number will be displayed.
Lift the handset and speak
To end the call simply replace the handset in the cradle
Combination of Voice and Text call
If a hearing person wishes to call a ScreenPhone user they would
dial 18002 followed by the full telephone number. Once the call is
answered by a Textphone, a Text Relay Operator will join the line
to relay the call. Please follow the instructions below to receive a
combination of voice and text call.

NOTE:
The SCREENPHONE is not capable of determining the
difference between an incoming standard call and a Text
call. Therefore the telephone cannot indicate if it is a voice
or text call on the screen, with the ringer or the strobe. This
is because the telephone network masks all text calls and
voice calls to look the same to eliminate any possible
discrimination.
