Real-time captions mean no more guessing! When you’re using a Sprint CapTel phone, calls can be back-and-forth conversations just like any other telephone. You don’t need to wait to see all the captions before you respond and enjoy a natural conversation flow. Simply dial your party’s number and your CapTel phone automatically connects you to the captioning service.
Absolutely. Sprint CapTel service is a federally funded program, thanks to the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and the FCC. That means anyone with certified hearing loss can enjoy no-cost captioned phone service. Feel free to select the Sprint CapTel phone that works best for you – enjoy no-cost, in-home installation – and make as many calls as you like.
Most types of hearing loss qualify for no-cost Sprint CapTel service. But because federal law prohibits anyone but registered users from using captioned phones, your hearing health professional must first sign a certification form. You can print the form and bring it to your audiologist, physician, PA, nurse practitioner (NP), Veteran Service Officer (VSO) or another qualified professional.
