Dialing BoostTM Walkie-Talkie

Numbers

Every BoostTM walkie-talkie 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*99 99.
When you place a BoostTM walkie-talkie call, you
must enter the whole BoostTM walkie-talkie number
including the asterisks.
Tip:W hen you store a BoostTM walkie-talkie
number in Contacts it is good practice to
include the whole BoostTM walkie-talkie
number including the asterisks in case you
travel with your phone, or an other BoostTM
walkie-talkie user whom you are trying to
reach travels with their phone, outside of
your network.
