TTY Use With Sprint Service

A TTY (teletypewriter, 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 device is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your device and TTY device will connect using a special cable that plugs into your device’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 service, please call Sprint Customer Service using the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide the state TRS with this number:

866-727-4889.

To turn TTY Mode on or off:

1. Press > and tap Settings > Call > TTY mode.

mode on. – or –

Note: When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio

quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset jack.

WARNING: 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 the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

History is a list of phone numbers (or People entries) for calls you placed, accepted, or missed. History makes redialing a number fast and easy. It is continually updated as your device automatically adds new numbers to the beginning of the list.

Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available) and People entry name (if the number is in People). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call) may only appear once on the list.

Facebook FAQ

What are the differences between the Facebook for HTC Sense and the Facebook for Android application?

䢇 Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone

application. It is integrated into People, Friend Stream, and Gallery to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates and new photos) in these applications.

䢇 The Facebook for Android application is a

standalone application. Use this application to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s Web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and adding captions to photos you upload.

䢇 The two do not share the same login credentials.

Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook application and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.
