How do I get Captions for incoming calls to my iphone5
iPhone 5
Make sure you go to settings and turn TTY on. Settings>phone>TTY on. You also need an iPhone TTY adapter: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MA854G/A/apple-iphone-tty-adapter. This is adapter allows you to use a standard TTY device. See this TTY overview Apple article:https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201906

You are welcome.
AJ the TTY use is only after you have connected it and it only works by typing backwards and forwards
What I was looking for was a caption that came on automatically when I receive a call similar to the broadcast text on TV
Do you mean something like a visual alert to let you know that your phone is ringing? Or are you looking for closed captions of the phone call to be automatic?
AJ my phone does tell me that it is ringing
but I was looking for closed captions on inbound calls to be automatic.

I am not sure that there is a way to to that. Apple has an accessibility support number, https://www.apple.com/support/accessibility/contact/you can call them and ask.-AJ
