Product Overview
This phone requires both a regular landline phone service and high speed internet to be provided and installed by the intended user prior to delivery of this phone. Purchase of this phone does not include either of these services or their installation.
The CapTel 2400iBT Captioned Phone is designed for people looking for a captioned phone with touchscreen technology and Bluetooth connectivity. CapTel is available for the U.S. only.
The CapTel 2400iBT Captioned Phone is a 40dB amplified phone that shows word-for-word captions of your conversation on a large touchscreen display. The CapTel 2400iBT has a large colorful display dial-by-picture capability and built-in answering machine to make it easy to enjoy talking on the phone again.
The 2400iBT allows you to easily pair a Bluetooth headset, neckloop, hearing aid or cochlear implant providing even more flexibility and clearer sound. Is not able to pair with a cell phone.
It connects to both your telephone and Internet service to give you the best of both worlds: voice and captions. The captions are provided by a free service that uses the Internet connection to automatically display captions for every call quickly and accurately. Captions are available on calls within the United States only.

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. IP Captioned Telephone Service may use a live operator. The operator generates captions of what the other party to the call says. These captions are then sent to your phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund. No cost is passed on to the CapTel user for using the service.
