TTY Use With Sprint Service

A TTY (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.
