Making Calls
A BoostTM walkie-talkie call ends automatically if
there is no activity on th e call for a few seconds.
Tip:To let someone know you want to talk to him
or her on a BoostTM wal kie-talkie call, send a
call alert. See “Call Alerts” on page 25.

Dialing BoostTM walkie-talkie Numbers

Every BoostTM walkie-talkie number has 3 parts —
an area ID, a network ID, a nd a member ID — with
an asterisk betwee n each of these pa rts. For
example: 999*999*9999.
When you place a BoostTM walkie-talkie call, you
must enter the whole BoostTM walkie-talkie number
including the asteri sks.
Tip:W hen you store a Boos tTM walkie-talkie
number in Contacts it is good practice to
include the whole B oostTM walkie-talkie
number including t he asterisks in cas e you
travel with your phone, or another BoostTM
walkie-talkie user whom you are trying to
reach travels with their phone, outside of
your network.
