with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it is 
compatible with digital cell phones. Your phone and TTY device 
will connect via a special cable that plugs into your device’s 
headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your TTY 
device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the 
connector cable.

WARNING:  911 Emergency Calling  
Virgin Mobile recommends that TTY 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 software used by PSAPs. This matter 
has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry 
and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.
