If you have a hearing or speech disability and want another way besides TTY to communicate using wireless devices, you can use Real-Time Text (RTT). It uses a mix of text and voice.
1 As a sender types a message on their device, text displays on the receiving device. RTT is great for everyday communication and is compatible with emergency calls just like TTY is today.
2Want to talk with someone with RTT or a TTY device? AT&T Real-Time Text uses our cellular network or Wi-Fi Calling to connect with users on networks that support this type of communication. As more carriers support RTT, you can talk to more people this way.
Key benefits of AT&T Real-Time Text- Doesn’t require connection to mobile TTY devices
- Works on our cellular network and with Wi-Fi Calling
- Offers a more conversational flow compared to TTY and relay services
- Supports simultaneous text and speech on RTT-to-RTT calls
