I’ve got an icon in my iPhone status bar that wasn’t always there and I’m unable to determine what it means. Apple’s documentation of the status bar icons doesn’t list it.

Anyone know what this phone and keyboard icon means?

Update: Jesper mentioned that the icon resembles a TTY device. Poking around in the iPhone settings, I found that TTY was indeed enabled. Must have gotten turned on by accident at some point. To turn TTY on or off, go to Settings → Phone and flick the TTY swtich.

TTY setting is on, go to settings > phone > turn off TTY - I had the same thing and was just looking for an answer. Fixed it about 5 minutes ago.
