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, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language
disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. A TTY
device will activate TTY mode on the phone when it is
properly connected. 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 Sprint PCS Service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing 711 . Then
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.
Note:
In TTY Mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon.
If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY
devices connected to the headset jack may be impaired.
