Description

NGT Lite is a mobile application that connects to the UK’s Next Generation Text (NGT) Service. More information at http://ngts.org.uk

Once installed, you should link your UK fixed or mobile phone number in NGT Lite. When linked, the app can create a connection over the Internet which works in parallel to your phone call to enable voice and real-time text to be combined into a single phone conversation. This enables you, as someone who is hearing or speech-impaired, to communicate with other phone users either directly, if they are also using the app, or via the NGT Relay if they’re a telephone user.

NGT Lite is designed to work with individual fixed and mobile phone numbers. Organisations wanting to use NGT Lite must ensure that the Calling Line Identification (CLI) for outgoing calls is unique to the phone being used. The CLI must also match the incoming phone number for the NGT App to be able to receive calls.

After linking NGT Lite to your phone number, you can make a call by starting the app and then, using your phone, dialling 18001 followed the number you’re calling. As your phone call connects via the NGT Service, a Join Call dialogue pops up on the app. Once you join the call, any text announcements or conversation appears in the app and you can type your reply. You can also use your phone to speak directly to the other person or hear their voice.

Quick guides

Setting up:
• Download and install the NGT Lite app
• Open NGT Lite
• In the Options page, add your full UK telephone number (e.g. 0791…)
• Using your phone, dial 0800 500 888
• You’ll get a text announcement saying the app is linked to your phone number

Making a call:
• Open NGT Lite, the green icon will show that you’re connected
• Make your call by dialling 18001 followed by the full telephone number you wish to call
• Switch back to the app and click Join Call
• You can now type and read, speak and read, or type and hear your conversation, either direct or via the NGT Relay

Answering a call:
• Caller dials 18002 followed by your phone number
• Phone rings
• Open NGT Lite and click Join Call
• You can now type and read your conversation, either direct or via the NGT Relay
• If you want to speak and read, or type and hear your conversation, answer the phone call before clicking Join Call

If you’d like to verify the correct functionality of the app, after linking your phone number in NGT Lite, you can dial the NGT Helpline on 0800 500 888 from your phone and connect to that call with the app for a test run.

Please note: To use your smartphone to make or answer a phone call and run NGT Lite at the same time, you must make sure your smartphone supports simultaneous voice and data or, if not, you’ll need to have a Wi-Fi connection.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

4 ★The app is good but still had some issues lost connection and not always saved the communications at the end
2 ★Go fix this damn, calling for an job interview the NGT went frozen, called again the speed of typing is sluggish, can't erase the words. What are you going to do? Wait for this over 4 months for fixed bugs. This is important for deaf and hard of hearing well we unable to use because of your lack technical support is pathetic!
1 ★Not show up, it'll need to be fixed
1 ★Tried linking mibile No several times. Link Failed each time??? Do not reccomend, utterly frustrating!
1 ★Not good at all
3 ★The service itself is actually quite good but for the love of God, change the keyboard. Offer a better one like Google keyboard. It is a major roadblock to clear communication and I feel sorry for the operators who have to decode what I'm trying to say. It's clunky, slow and does not allow me to type properly. Please do something about this, otherwise this app would be pretty good.
2 ★When I type on app while talk to them and when I type mistake spell and can't delete write off. End up wring spell then I try again write down in end of sentence. Can't take off when mistake spell! I dislike at all
2 ★I am told that this app is installed and it can be used on this device Now I need it I am deaf why can the installing mechanisms be honest and telling me it is installed is untrue because it is not to be seen on this device where it is allegedly Installed looked in apps and got several but not ngt liye Google
1 ★Utter junk, so many problems, 5 mins call turns into a 1 hour call. Partly due to a horrible app, partly due to a poorly funded service. I feel like a second class citizen using this app.
1 ★No idea how to use it
