We encourage mobile companies in the UK, Europe, and worldwide to take a look at what T-Mobile in the USA is doing to support the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
📱 T-Mobile’s Accessibility Commitment Includes:
✅ In-house ASL interpreters
✅ Direct Video Relay Services (VRS)
✅ ASL customer support via video calls
✅ Deaf-friendly devices and accessibility-focused mobile plans

📈 Why It Matters: Not Just Inclusion, Smart Business
Offering accessible services is more than just a legal or ethical responsibility. It brings real value to companies:
💬 Builds trust and rapport with Deaf and disabled customers
🌟 Boosts your brand reputation for inclusion and diversity
💰 Increases customer loyalty and revenue through wider reach
🤝 Enables better collaboration and service quality
🌐 Opens the door to global leadership in accessibility
💡 Final Thought
Deaf people are customers too.
They deserve the same access, respect, and quality service as everyone else.
We invite companies worldwide to follow the lead of T-Mobile.
Start investing in accessibility today - inclusion, impact, and innovation.
🌐 A Note on Global Sign Languages
While T-Mobile offers support in ASL (American Sign Language), it’s important to recognise that each country has its own official sign language, such as:
BSL – British Sign Language
LSF – Langue des Signes Française (French Sign Language)
LSQ – Langue des Signes Québécoise (Quebec Sign Language)
ISL, DGS, Auslan, and many more...
Each language has its grammar, culture, and community. A global accessibility model should respect and support native sign languages in each region.
