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.
To turn TTY mode on or off:

Warning: 911 Emergency Calling
Boost 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.
