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.
