Special Dialing Codes
Non-Emergency Numbers
Nextel supports many “non-emergency” numbers
(such as #77, 311, and 511) provided by local and state
governments. These numbers are used to report
non-emergency incidents. If the situation includes
imminent danger or loss of life, you should dial 911.
Telecommunications Relay Service
Nextel supports services for communicating with
speech and/or hearing impaired individuals. You can
dial 711 to reach a local Telecommunications Relay
Center. You will then be connected to your destination
number. Relay service works through a
Communications Assistant who reads messages typed
into a TDD/TTY device by a speech or hearing
impaired individual to you. The Communications
Assistant then types your spoken messages to the
hearing or speech impaired individual.
Telecommunications Relay Service is available 24
hours a day, seven days a week, and every call is
strictly confidential.

1. Press / > Settings > Phone Calls > TTY > Use TTY.

Note: Using 711 to reach Telecommunications Relay Service
may not be available in all areas.
The TTY device must be connected to the phone
through the micro USB port. A 2.5 mm to micro USB
adapter is required to support TTY.
