Sending a Call Alert
You can send a Call Alert, which lets the recipient know that you would like to
talk with them. When you send an alert, the recipients phone will chirp several
times and your name will appear on their display, if they have stored your
Private ID.
Receiving/Responding to a Call Alert
When you receive an alert, your phone will automatically change to Prvt Ready
mode. It will also chirp and you will see the name or the number (if you have not
stored the individual in a list) of the caller.
NOTE:Call Alert allows you to contact another Nextel Direct Connect
subscriber at no cost and avoid airtime charges.
NOTE:Until you answer or clear the Call Alert, you will not receive any
additional Phone, Private, or Group calls.
