Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect
Ⅲ
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.
