New icon next to the battery....never seen it before

Hi

I noticed today that my iphone has a new icon next to the battery meter at the top right hand corner of the screen.
The icon looks like a phone handset with 2 rows of button under it.
I have looked at all my setting and can't figure out how to make it go away or how it got there.
Does anyone know what this is or anyone have the same icon?

Dell, Windows XP

TTY
Settings>Phone>TTY

TTY, also known as Text Telephone Device or Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD), is a special device required at both ends of the conversation that enables people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired to use the telephone to communicate. TTY works by allowing people to type messages back and forth to one another instead of talking and listening.

That's the TTY icon (telephony device for the hearing impaired). You can shut it off in Settings > Phone.
