What is real-time text (RTT)?
Real-time text (RTT) is a smartphone texting feature that can make it easier to have a live conversation, especially if you have a hearing or speech impairment.
When you use RTT, each character is transmitted immediately as you type it. You don't have to write an entire message before you can send it, like when you're texting. RTT eliminates the delay between sending and receiving messages, making it feel like a more natural form of communication than TTY or texting.
Also, you can use RTT right on your compatible smartphone, without any additional devices.
For more information, refer to our RTT resource page.
