ClearCaptions captioned phones are available to qualified, hard-of-hearing U.S. residents at no cost. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates accessibility, it is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that administers the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) Fund.

A ClearCaptions representative can help you learn more about your caption phone eligibility.

Rest assured, your conversations are private and secure.
