Your Direct Connect Number
Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number.
Your Direct Connect number will be one of the following:
● Separate numbers (DC Only) - Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your
wireless number). It is made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example,
444*5555*111).
● A single number (Mobile+DC) - Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless
number (for example, 555-555-1234).
Dial Direct Connect Numbers
Understand the types of Direct Connect numbers for making Direct Connect calls.
● 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.
● If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use
that ten-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.
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 number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).
Tip: One way to easily ensure that your contacts have 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.
To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect number:
■ Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has a Mobile+DC icon ( ) or a DC Only icon ( ),
it is a valid Direct Connect number.
– or –
Highlight a contact and press . “DC capable” will appear below the valid Direct Connect
number.
Save a Direct Connect Number

Sprint Direct Connect 42
The Direct Connect number may be the ten-digit wireless phone number of the contact.
– or –
The Direct Connect number may be a unique number made up of three sets of digits
separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111). When saving this type of number,
always include the asterisks (*).
2. Press OPTIONS (right softkey) > Save.
3. Select New Entry or Existing Entry.
4. Select a number type for the entry:
Select Mobile+DC if the wireless phone number and the Direct Connect number are the
same.
Select DC Only if the Direct Connect number is different from the wireless phone number.
Make sure to include the asterisks (*) between the sections of a DC Only number.
Note: All Direct Connect users with Nextel or PowerSource phones must ALWAYS use an asterisk (*)
between sets of digits, even if they are calling another user whose Direct Connect number is the same as
their wireless phone number. Make sure to include the asterisks when giving your number to a Nextel or
PowerSource user (for example, if your number is 555-555-1234, when giving it to a Nextel or
PowerSource user, it should be 555*555*1234).

automatically pushes to all the group members’ phones. Once a user creates and distributes a TeamDC
group, any member of the group can make a TeamDC call to the entire group. If the user who created the
group makes any changes to the group, the system automatically sends updates to the members’ phones.

Contacts
Your phone’s Contacts help you stay in touch with family, friends, and colleagues by keeping track of all
their contact information. This section explains how to use your phone’s Contacts.
Contacts Cautions
Information saved in Contacts may be lost or changed if the battery is removed for a long period or
left uncharged. Accident or malfunction may also cause loss or change to information. It is
recommended that you keep a separate copy of contacts and other important information. The
company is not responsible for any damages from lost or changed contacts.
Get Started with Contacts
Before using Contacts, it’s best to learn a few basics.
There are three types of Contacts entries:
● Personal Contacts Entries – Entries for an individual. Your phone can store up to 600 personal
Contacts entries. Each entry can contain up to seven phone numbers (including Direct Connect
numbers), and three email addresses, three IM addresses, and three Web addresses.
● Group Connect Entries – Entries that contain more than one personal Contacts entry. Your
phone can store up to 25 Group Connect entries. Each group entry can contain up to 40
members for sending messages, or up to 20 members for making Direct Connect group calls.
● TeamDC and Opt-In TeamDC Entries – Entries created and managed online, which contain up
to 500 personal Contacts entries including the creator. Once created, TeamDC and Opt-In
TeamDC entries are distributed to their members via server and only the creator or an account
administrator may modify them. Your phone can store up to 40 TeamDC and Opt-In TeamDC
entries combined.
Add a Contact
