About your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect Number:

Separate numbers (DCOnly) — Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your wireless number). It will be made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).

A single number (Mobile+DC) — Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).
