In the US we have captioning telephones. The services are regulated by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). They are available for landlines, internet connected phones, mobile. and computer. Some examples are CapTel, CaptionCall, ClearCaptions, InnoCaption to name a few. A French company called RogerVoice is also approved to use in the US and can be use globally.

All, I should mention that there is also CaptionMate which is especially great with cell smart phones. It provides captioning on both sides of the conversation while talking on the phone. In addition, it sends an email when one has a VoiceMail message to read and saves the conversations as desired. CaptionMate works with smart cell phones, tablets, computers, and ..... landline phones. Here is the website for more information: http://www.captionmate.com The captioning is paid for by the FCC. I like it most from among the list Bruce shared and it is free like the others. I wish I had this app while I had my working career as a student services professional in postsecondary education. This app and others as discussed would have saved me a lot of misunderstanding, confusion, and yes, sometimes reprimands from the sup through no fault of my own.

Thanks, Bruce. I've heard about it vaguely
before.A Web search indicates that we do have some sort of
service here, but it's paid for in one way or another by the
users and it doesn't seem to advertise where I might expect. ======================================================================================

It's the same all over, England, Wales,
Scotland, Northern Ireland. However, I haven't been able to find
proof that such a service is unavailable from any UK telecoms
service provider. ======================================================================================

We have captioning available on both cell phones and land lines. It’s government funded. The spoken words appear on a screen. That isn’t a service provided in England? How about the rest of the UK? Carol

I don't use a cell phone because I am too deaf
and too dyspraxic to use texting. I only have one for
two-factor authentication messages, and for use as as a camera. ======================================================================================

I can't help because I don't know what you
mean by 'phone captioning services'. We don't have the fastest
broadband, but most people get a pretty good service. ======================================================================================

Hearing Aid Compatibility Deployment Benchmarks for Wireless Handsets Increasing
Margaret Myatt
Hearing Aid Compatibility Deployment Benchmarks for Wireless Handsets IncreasingInbox
On September 28, 2021, the FCC reminded wireless handset manufacturers and service providers of upcoming increases in deployment benchmarks for hearing aid-compatible handsets. Specifically, the benchmark for handset manufacturers will increase from 66% to 85% on October 4, 2021, and the benchmark for Tier I service providers will increase from 66% to 85% on April 4, 2022. For non-Tier I service providers, the benchmark will increase from 66% to 85% on April 3, 2023.
The Commission continues to assess whether further changes are needed to facilitate use of wireless handsets by those with hearing loss, including whether to require 100% of covered handsets to be hearing aid-compatible. The Commission will also review the Hearing Aid Compatibility Task Force’s final report on this topic, which is due by December 31, 2022.
The FCC reminded handset manufacturers and service providers that they must comply with the new 85% benchmark and the Commission’s other hearing aid compatibility rules or face possible enforcement proceedings and forfeitures.
