How to Use TTY on Your iPhone

You can use the TTY, or teletype, feature on your iPhone. The TTY feature helps hearing-impaired people hold phone conversations. You can use the iPhone with standard TTY devices by plugging a cable from the TTY device to an optional $19 iPhone TTY adapter and then plugging the adapter into the iPhone. Make sure that the TTY setting on the phone is turned On.
