Using Nextel DirectConnect®

Nextel Direct Connect on your Sprint phone offers instant two-way “walkie-talkie-style”communication between you and your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button. Perfect for get-in get-out conversations such as checking status, getting information, getting directions, or coordinating with others — fast. And Call Alert sends a repeating alert to other Nextel Direct Connect subscribers to let them know you want to reach them.

The following Nextel Direct Connect services are available:

DirectConnect® – Allows two-way radio communication with other Direct Connect users.

GroupConnect® – Create and manage groups “on the fly” or online to connect instantly with up to 20 other Direct Connect users at the same time. (Currently Sprint phones do not support Group Connect calls with Nextel or PowerSource phones.)*

TeamDCSM– Create a group online that allows nationwide group calling with up to 35 total Direct Connect users (with Sprint phones only). With Team DC, all members can access the most up-to-date group list on their phone.

*Later in 2008, users will be able to include Direct Connect users with Nextel phones in their Group Connect groups.

AboutYourDirectConnectNumber

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

1.Separate numbers — Your Direct Connect number is a different one from your cellular number. It will be made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 44*5555*111).

2.A single number — Your Direct Connect number is the same as your cellular number (for example, 44*5555*111).
