Dialing Nextel Direct Connect Numbers
Every Direct Connect number has three parts:
䢇An area ID.
䢇A network ID.
䢇A member ID.
An asterisk separates each part (for exampl e:
999*999*9999). When you enter a number containing
all three parts, you must separate them with aster isks.
Using Just the Member ID
If you are contacting someone sharing your network
and area IDs, you only need to enter the member ID
(the last part of the number).
1. Enter the member ID of a Direct Connect number.
2. Press and hold the Direct Connect button on the
side of your phone. Continue as you would on any
Direct Connect call.
Note The number of digits in each part of a Direct
Connect number may vary. For example, your Direct
Connect number may be formatted as
999*999*9999, while another valid number may
appear as 555*555555*55.
If you are calling or saving a Direct Connect number
for a Sprint phone with Direct Connect capabilities,
the Direct Connect number may be the same as the
wireless phone number. When saving the Direct
Connect number, insert asterisks in place of
hyphens (913*555*1234).
Tip When you store a Direct Connect number in
Contacts, be sure to include the entire number,
including the asterisks.
