Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect

If the person you are calling has a single number
for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use
that 10-digit phone number to make Direct
Connect calls. You do not need to add any
asterisks (*) to the number. If you are saving this
number in your contacts, choose

Mobile + DC

for

the phone type.

Making and Answering Direct
Connect Calls

Making Direct Connect Calls (Phone
Open)

You can make a Direct Connect call by entering a
Direct Connect number manually or by selecting an
entry containing a Direct Connect number in your
Contacts or History. (For information on saving Direct
Connect numbers to Contacts, see “Saving a Direct
Connect Number” on page 56.)

Tip

Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks
(*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect
numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to
tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the 10-
digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens
(for example, 555*555*1234).

Tip

One way to easily ensure that your contact has your
correct number is to call them so that they can save
your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their
contact information. Remember you will need all
digits of the number to make a successful call. Also,
if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for
Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*)
between sets of numbers.
