Description

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.

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.
