Direct TalkCalls

Nextel Direct Talk allows for two-way radio communication “off the network” between two or more phones equipped with this capability. This feature is very useful in areas without network coverage.

You can make:

⬤Codecalls – two-way radio calls conducted off the network and using open channels and codes. In these calls, anyone using your same channel and code can hear your conversation.

⬤Privatecalls– two-way radio calls conducted off the network and using the wireless phone numbers of the participants. In these calls, others using the same channel cannot listen in.

When using Direct Talk mode, the two phones should be a minimum of six feet apart to maximize performance and improve transmission range. You can only make Direct Talk calls to users located within your range. This varies according to terrain, man-made structures, and atmospheric conditions.
