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.
