TTY Mode
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 Boost service, please call Boost 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 Home > Menu , and touch Settings > Call settings > TTY mode.

Warning: 911 Emergency Calling
Boost 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
Page 61
attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
