Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

Every Direct Connect number has three parts:

⬤An area ID

⬤A network ID

⬤A member ID

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 dialing or 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.

Using Just the MemberID

If you are contacting someone sharing your network and area IDs, you only need to enter the member ID (the last part of the number).

1.Touch Dialer and enter a member ID.

2.Press and hold the DC button.
