TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint

A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that allows people who are deaf or 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 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.

When establishing your PCS Service, please call PCS Customer Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by

first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

To turnTTY mode on or off:

1.Press to access the main menu.

2.Select Settings and press .

3.Select Others and press .

4.Select TTY and press . (You will see a message on the display.)

5.Press OK (left softkey) to continue.

6.Select Enable or Disable and press .

Note: When you connect TTY devices, your phone will display in TTY mode. If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make Emergency calls by other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline 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. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
