20 Phone Basics
Your phone is compatible with selected 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 via 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.
Note: Not all service providers support TTY. Consult your service provider for more
information.

IMPORTANT 911 Emergency Calling: We recommend that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), analog cellular, and land line 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. The wireless industry and
PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
