ORDERING PHONE
SERVICE FOR
2-LINE CAPTEL
Using 2-line CapTel is an optional service and is not required
for your CapTel phone to work properly. You can always use your
CapTel phone with just one standard analog telephone line.
If you choose to use 2-line CapTel:
• Contact your phone service provider to install a second separate
phone line with a separate telephone number and jack (if you don’t
already have 2 lines). You cannot have one phone line with two
extensions, or two lines wired into one phone jack.
• The second line must be a standard analog line (or DSL with an
appropriate filter).
• You can keep your home phone number as the primary number
and order the second line with basic service. You do not need
Caller-ID, long distance service, or call-waiting on the second line.

• The customer you are servicing has purchased a captioned telephone
that requires 2 separate phone lines (one of the lines must be
analog or DSL with an appropriate lter).
• The 2 lines must be for separate phone numbers, not just an
extension of 1 phone number (eg. distinctive ring).
• Each phone line will need its own jack on the wall, labeled with the
associated phone number, and located next to each other on a single
wall plate so that both lines can be plugged into the CapTel phone.
• The customer can keep their existing home phone number as the
primary number (Line 1). The second line (analog) only needs basic
service. They do not need Caller-ID, long distance, or call-waiting
features on the second line (Line 2).
If you have questions, please contact CapTel Customer Service:
