Tap to know more about the build version, licenses, privacy policy, and terms of service.
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 telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. From home, tap Phone > Menu > Settings > Accessibility > TTY mode.
58
2. Tap TTY Full, TTY HCO, or TTY VCO to turn TTY mode on.
Tap TTY Off to turn TTY mode off.
Note: When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio quality of non-TTY devices
connected to the headset jack.
Warning: 9-1-1 emergency calling It is recommended that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to
9-1-1 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.
