Virgin Mobile 601 manual Hearing Aids, TTY Mode, Ddtm Mode, Other Call Settings

Hearing Aids

Select the Hearing aids option to enable hearing aid compatibility that amplifies your phone’s in-call volume.

TTY Mode

A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications phone 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 phones. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY phone to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY phone will connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY phone, contact your TTY phone manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1.With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar, and then touch > Call > TTY mode.

2.Touch TTY Full, TTY HCO, or TTY VCO. Touch TTY Off to turn TTY mode off.

Note: When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio quality of non-TTY phones connected to the headset jack.

Warning: 911 Emergency Calling

Virgin Mobile 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 the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
