Dialing Direct Connect

®

Numbers

 

 

 

 

Every Direct Connect number has 3 parts — an

area ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an

asterisk between each of these parts. For example:

999*999*9999.

 

 

 

 

When you place a Direct Connect call, you must

enter the whole Direct Connect number including

the asterisks.

 

 

 

 

Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in

Contacts, it is good practice to include the

whole Direct Connect number, including the

asterisks.

 

Calls

Group Connect

SM

 

 

 

 

A Group Connect call is similar to a Direct Connect

call, but is made to multiple Direct Connect users

at once. You can create Groups from your phone

and call up to 20 Nextel users anywhere on the

Nextel national network to other Group

Connect-compatible phones*.

You can create a

Group for one-time use or store it to Contacts so

you can call it at any time.

 

 

 

*Not all phones are Group Connect-compatible. See nextel.com for more details on Group Connect.

Note: In order to store Groups to your i275, you

must use the 128K SIM card that came

with your phone. The 128K SIM card is

labeled "Nextel 600 Contcs & 25 Grps".

With this SIM card, a maximum of 25

groups can be added to your i275. Group

entries created with your i275 phone are

not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based

phone.
