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.
When establishing your Trumpet Mobile Service, please call
Trumpet Mobile Customer Care via the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing
