Setup with instructions A family member can set this phone up with the instructions or phone help that come with it. It needs two connections (phone line and internet), plus an order verification step and optional Bluetooth pairing, so it is more than plug-and-go. It does not need a clinical assessment.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is a captioned phone that shows the words of a call on a large touchscreen while you listen, so you can read along with what the other person says. It amplifies sound by up to 40 dB, has a built-in answering machine, and lets you dial by tapping pictures. You can also pair a Bluetooth headset, neckloop, hearing aid, or cochlear implant for clearer sound. It needs both a phone line and an internet connection, and the captions come from a free service that works on calls within the United States only. It cannot pair with a cell phone.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Connect the phone to your telephone line and your internet connection, and plug it in.
    2. After you order, expect an email from a CapTel representative within two business days to verify your information. Your order ships once you reply.
    3. Installation help is offered by a technician where available, or over the phone. Plan on about 30 minutes, plus a little more if you pair a Bluetooth headset or hearing device.
