TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service
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 TTY devices that comply with the
TSB 121 industry standard. Please check with the manufacturer of
your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless
transmission. Your Nokia phone is equipped with a universal 2.5mm
accessory jack that can be used to connect to the cable of a “cellular
ready” or “cellular compatible” TTY/TDD device. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device
manufacturer to purchase the connector cable.
