TTY Use With Sprint Service
ATTY (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 phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check
with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it
supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs 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 Sprint service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

WARNING
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends thatTTY 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 equipmentor 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.
