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.

Group ConnectSM Calls

Group ConnectSM Calls

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 i836, 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 i836. Group entries created with your i836 phone are not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based phone.
