DialingDirectConnectNumbers

Every Direct Connect number has three parts:

An area ID.

A network ID.

A member ID.

An asterisk separates each part (for example: 999*999*9999). When you enter a number containing all three parts, you must separate them with asterisks.

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 dialing or 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.
