TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service
PQRS
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 PCS 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.
Note: In TTY mode, your phone will display the TTY access icon ( ).
Note:If TTY mode is enabled, the audio quality of non-TTY devices
connected to the headset jack may be impaired.
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 equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought
to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.
