About Your Direct Connect Number
Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for 
your Direct Connect number:
1.
Separate numbers (
DC Only
) — Your Direct Connect
number is a unique number (not your wireless 
number). It will be made up of three sets of digits 
separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
2.
A single number (
Mobile + DC
) — Your Direct
Connect number is the same as your wireless 
number (for example, 555-555-1234).
Dialing Direct Connect Numbers
Ⅲ
If the person you are calling has a separate 
number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial 
any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving 
the number in your Contacts, choose 
DC Only
for
the phone type.
Important
When the Direct Connect feature is active, 
both the On/Off and Net Guard features are 
disabled (
Settings > More... > Data
).
Note
If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates 
that Direct Connection is no longer active on your 
account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with Direct 
Connect functionality.
