RNID T374 Screenphone

This groundbreaking product is a telephone with a difference. Developed by Geemarc in partnership with RNID, the ScreenPhone uses the latest technology but is still easy to use. Also, it now has a new high contrast screen.

Speak your part of the call as usual but receive your caller's conversation back in words on a screen (using a telephone call to an Text Relay operator). The appearance and functions are similar to a standard amplified phone but with a much larger screen and text that can be increased in size to make it easy to read. Answerphone messages can also be replayed on the display in text.

ScreenPhone is ideal for people who want to voice their call but can no longer hear the response and find textphones too complicated. The phone can also be used like an amplified phone and like a standard phone.

To use the text on screen option - dial the number you want with 18001 before it, or get the person calling you to dial 18002 before your number. You will connect with a Text Relay operator. The operator will relay the incoming caller's voice into text for you to read from the display screen. Simply press the 'V/T' button whenever you want to speak and press it again when you want to read their reply.

The Screenphone offers you the option of either a Text Messaging service or the 1571 Voice Messaging service. You cannot have both active at the same time, nor can you keep switching back and forth between the two. A permanent choice is required. If you have been using the 1571 service on a phone which you discard in favour of the screenphone, you may need to re-install 1571 on the screenphone if you wish to continue using the service.
