Adding and using
the STS icon

Exclusively for T-Mobile wireless customers.

For anyone who has a speech disability and is a T-Mobile wireless customer, STS calls are available in a single tap. Simply add the STS icon on your smartphone's home screen, and tap it when you're ready to make a call. 

The icon is a shortcut, not an app, so it uses virtually no space on your phone and makes STS that much easier. It's available for both iOS and Android phones, and set up is easy!
