Register Your CapTel Phone

I have a hearing loss that necessitates use of the captioned telephone service.
I understand that the captioning on captioned telephone service may be provided by a live communications assistant who listens to the other party on the line and provides the text on the captioned phone.
I understand that the cost of captioning each Internet protocol captioned telephone call is funded through a federal program.
I will not permit, to the best of my ability, persons who have not registered to use Internet Protocol captioned telephone service to make captioned telephone calls on my registered IP captioned telephone service or device.

Under penalty of perjury, I certify that I am the CapTel user listed above and I agree with these four statements.

Terms & Conditions

Per FCC requirements, the registration Terms & Conditions must be accepted by the CapTel user themself before the Captions feature can be activated. The CapTel user should review and accept the Terms & Conditions at the time the CapTel phone is set up.
