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 is compatible with digital wireless
phones. Your device and TTY device will connect via 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

WARNING

Note

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 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.

In TTY Mode, your device will display the TTY access
icon when an earjack is inserted.

When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio
quality of non-TTY devices connected to the headset
jack.
