 TTY Use With PCS Service From Sprint
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone), is a telecom-
munications device that allows people who are deaf or 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 phones 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 PCS Service, please call PCS Customer 
Solutions via the state Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by 
first dialing 
   . Then provide the state TRS with this 
number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT 
NOTICE:911 Emergency Calling 
Sprint recommends that TTY users make emergency calls by 
other means, including Telecommunications Relay Services 
(TRS), analog cellular, and land line 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.
