What is RTT used for?

Real-Time Text (RTT) is a technology that enables text-based communication while making phone calls. Accessible on various devices including Android phones, tablets, iPhones, and iPads, RTT empowers users to exchange instant messages during calls without the need for supplementary accessories. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with hard-of-hearing disabilities, the deaf-blind, and those with speech-related conditions, as it facilitates effective communication methods.

With RTT, users can type out text messages that the recipient sees in real-time text communication technologies, enabling seamless interaction. This serves as a modern alternative to TTY (text telephone technology) and fosters inclusive conversations. Both parties involved can exchange information using text, promoting accessibility and understanding.

6. Contact Support: If you’ve exhausted troubleshooting options and can’t disable RTT, consider reaching out to your device manufacturer’s support or your carrier’s customer service provider for assistance.

Why does RTT randomly turn ON?

If you’re experiencing RTT mode turning on unexpectedly during calls, there are several potential solutions to consider. First, determine if the issue is specific to certain callers. Test by making calls to other individuals; if the problem doesn’t persist, ask the specific caller to turn off their RTT mode.

This issue has been reported with certain phone brands like OnePlus and Motorola. If you’re using such a device, try turning off RTT mode in your phone settings. For instance, on OnePlus and Motorola phones, you can navigate to Phone > Settings > Accessibility and toggle off TTY mode. If you’re using a T-Mobile network SIM, check for updates in your settings and ensure RTT is off in the Accessibility section.

If the issue persists despite these steps, and your phone continually switches to RTT mode during calls, it might be necessary to replace the device if you wish to continue making calls without this issue. Contacting customer support for your device manufacturer or carrier could also provide further assistance in resolving this problem.
