TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecom-
munications 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.
