Using Real-time text (RTT) or TTY
Real-time text (RTT) is a feature that can make it easier for customers to
carry on a live conversation through text (or text and simultaneous voice)
during a call, with each text character transmitted immediately as it is
typed. Unlike TTY, there’s no need for a separate device. The person you are
calling must have either RTT or TTY enabled on their device for the text
capability to work. If your device instead uses TTY (Text Telephony) and TDD
(Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) technology that allows similar text-
based communications by telephone, you must have a TTY-compatible phone and be
in the TTY mode to place or receive calls.
For additional information, visit the Verizon Accessibility Resource Center at verizon.com/accessibility.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the
wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless
technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with
hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service
provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid
compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies,
consult your service provider or phone retailer.
