TTY Use

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 wireless service, please call Qwest via the
