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 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.
