I seen this on my BB 7520 and i dont know what it means or what this options is for can someone help with this.

It's for people who can't hear/talk. It stands for Tele Type writer.

I don't think the option takes up much space, but you may as well uninstall it if you're not going to be using it.

I have a 7520 and do not see this program... As a police officer I would love to have this... Does anyone know where I can get it or how it works?

Thanks in advance...

Go to Phone, Options, TTY and change NO to YES.

Thank you dusty sadle... Sorry to pest, but at that point I see TTY in the top left of my screen... Does this then mean when I call a TTY residence I can just type text to the person? Also will it work both ways? I.E. I can call a TTY number and type text and vice-versa if I receive a TTY call I can type text as well?

Thank you,
-Bob

Bob,

I'm not sure just how TTY works. You might want to query Mark Rejhon, here on the forum. I believe that he uses it.
