TTY UseWith Sprint PCS Service

A TTY(also known as a TDD or TextTelephone) 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 7 1 1 TALK . Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 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.
