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.
