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 state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing
