Hello aisha880,


You are correct, the RTT and TTY services are available on plans offered by wireless carriers in the US and Canada.

To learn more about the accessibility features which are available in your region, you can check out this site: Accessibility - Apple (UK). You'll find a Contact Us section at the bottom of the page.

This site gives additional information on how to contact Apple Accessibility Support: How to contact Apple for accessibility support.


Take Care!

You can indeed use your iPhone to make RTT or TTY (Real-time text/Text Telephone) calls without needing any extra hardware. These articles will provide you with more information:
