TTY & Cell Phones
Frequently Asked Questions
| |
Yes! Thanks to the new Compact/C from Ultratec.
Now, you can make TTY calls from your car, the park, the golf
course, the boat, anywhere, whenever you want!
Just connect the Compact/C to a recommended cellular phone, and
enjoy the convenience of cellular calling anywhere, anytime.
The Compact/C includes a built-in audio jack and cable which
connects directly to the "hands-free" jack found in many of today's
digital cellular phones. Because of the variety of individual
preferences and calling plans available, the cellular phone and
service must be purchased separately.
How to make a TTY call with a cellular phone:
Plug the large end of the cable into the audio jack of the
Compact/C.
Plug the small end of the cable into the audio jack of your cellular
telephone.
Turn on your cellular telephone. Make sure you have a strong signal
on your telephone.
Turn on the TTY and press the spacebar.
Dial the number of the person you are calling on the cellular
telephone.
Recommended Cellular Phones
Look for cell phone models that list "TTY Mode" in their
specifications. Because the cellular phone industry changes phone
models and features frequently, the following list is provided as
reference only. Please check with your cellular phone provider for
the most up-to-date information.

with a cellular phone. However, you need some special equipment from
your cellular phone provider to make it work.
