By using the Sprint Mobile Sync tool available at

sprint.com

. See

By selecting or entering multiple numbers for a one-time call.

When making a Group Connect call or creating a group list for Group Connect
calls in Contacts, you must select an entry

‘s Direct Connect–capable number. If

you select a number that is not Direct Connect

–capable, the name will be

added to the list, but Group Connect calls will not go through to that group
member.
