Making Calls
See nextel.com for more details on these Direct
Connect walkie-talkie services. Pricing for each of
these services is based on your service contract.
To make a Direct Connect call:
1 If the flip is open, enter the Direct Connect
number you want to call. -or-
If the flip is closed, choose the number as you
would when making a phone call.
2 Press and hold the PTT button on the side of
your phone. Begin talking after your phone emits
a chirping sound.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
A Direct Connect call ends automatically if there is
no activity on the call for a few seconds.
Tip: To let someone know you want to talk to
him or her on a Direct Connect call, send a
call alert. See “Call Alerts” on page 32.
Dialing Direct Connect ® Numbers
Every Direct Connect number has 3 parts — an
area ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an
asterisk between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Direct Connect call, you must
enter the whole Direct Connect number including
the asterisks.
Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in
Contacts, it is good practice to include the
whole Direct Connect number, including the
asterisks.
