Accessing Text Messages

When you receive a text message, an alert is
displayed on your phone’s screen. Press Read (left
softkey) to display the message. Use your
navigation key to scroll down and view the entire
message.
Caller ID Blocking
Caller ID allows people to identify a caller before
answering the phone by displaying the number of the
incoming call. If you do not want your number
displayed when you make a call, follow these steps.

Per-Call Blocking

To block delivery of your phone number to other Caller ID
units for a single phone call:
Press *67 before dialing the call.
Your Nextel phone number cannot be blocked from
calls made to 911, 800, 855, 866, 877, 888, or other
toll-free phone numbers.

Per-Line Blocking

You can request that Nextel Customer Service
permanently block delivery of your phone number on
every call you make. In this case, you may need to
display your number for certain calls.
To show your number on a per-call basis:
Press *82 before dialing the call.
Call Waiting
Call Waiting lets you receive a second call while on an
active call. Call Waiting is always available, unless you
turn it off for a specific call.
If you are on a call and receive a second call, your
phone emits a tone and displays a message.
To accept the second call and put the active call on hold:
Press Yes (left softkey).
