Nextel Direct Connect® on your Sprint phone offers instant,
two-way push-to-talk (PTT) communication between you and
your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button.

Perfect for get-in get-out conversations such as
checking status, getting information, getting directions

a repeating alert to other Nextel Direct Connect
subscribers to let them know you want to reach them.

The following Nextel Direct Connect services are

– Allows two-way radio

communication with other Direct Connect users.

䢇 Group Connect

®

– Create and manage groups in

Before Making Your First Direct
Connect Call

For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it
must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer
Service representative. See See “Activating Your
Phone” on page 3.

Register and Activate Direct Connect:

1. Confirm that the Direct Connect feature is currently

activated on your account.

2. Press S > Settings/Tools > Settings > Direct

Connect > Update DC.

䡲 This validates your Direct Connect service with

the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.

3. Verify that Direct Connect is now active:

䡲 The icon should not be visible at the top of the

display.

About your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for
your Direct Connect Number:

䢇 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).

䢇 A single number (Mobile+DC) — Your Direct Connect

number is the same as your wireless number (for
example, 555-555-1234).

Important

When the Direct Connect feature is active,
both the On/Off and Net Guard features are
disabled (

Settings > More... > Data Services).

Note

If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates
that Direct Connect is no longer active on your
account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with your
Direct Connect functionality.

32 Section 2B. Nextel Direct Connect

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

䢇 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.

䢇 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.

To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect Number:

䊳 Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has

a

Mobile+DC or a DC Only icon, it is a valid

Direct Connect number.

– or –

Select a contact and press

S. “DC capable” will

appear below the valid Direct Connect number.

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 10­digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens
(for example, 555*555*1234).

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

Your Contacts can contain two types of Groups:

Note

All Direct Connect users with Nextel or PowerSource
phones must always use an “ * ” between digits, even
if they are calling another use whose DC number is
the same as their wireless phone number. Be sure to
include “ * ” when you give your number to a Nextel or
PowerSource user. For example, if your DC number
is 555-555-1234, when giving this number to a Nextel
user it would be “555 * 555 * 1234”.

Tip

You can also save a Direct Connect number from
History. From a History listing, press

Options > Save,

and then complete steps 3–5 above.

cable was not provided with your TTY device, contact
your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the
connector cable.

When establishing your Sprint service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state

WARNING

911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS),
analog cellular, and landline communications.
Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted
when received by public safety answering
points (PSAPs), rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem
encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This
matter has been brought to the attention of
the FCC, and the wireless industry and the
PSAP community are currently working to
resolve this.

Tip

If you choose to hide the shortcuts, you can still use
them by pressing the appropriate navigation key.

Section 2E

Roaming

⽧ Understanding Roaming (page 68)

⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode (page 69)

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network. Your new device works

anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows
you to roam on other networks where we’ve
implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as
special features that let you manage your roaming
experience.

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display
Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know
when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon
().

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you
receive when making calls on the Sprint National
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as the browser or Messaging.

Note

Nextel Direct Connect services are not available
when roaming.

Tip

Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note

Unless your service plan includes roaming, you will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming

Section 2E. Roaming 69

Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network,
you may not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail
for new messages if you are in a roaming service area
for an extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press

*

.

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the

voice prompts.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings to control your
roaming experience.

1. Press

S

> Settings/Tools > Settings > More... >

Roaming > Set Mode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press

S

.

䡲 Sprint Only to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network only and prevent roaming on other
networks.

䡲 Automatic to seek service on the Sprint National

Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, the
phone searches for an alternate system.

Note

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped
in an area where you think Sprint service is available,
turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
network.

70 Section 2E. Roaming

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Sprint National Network: the onscreen
roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy
to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra
step before you can place or answer a roaming call.
(This additional step is not required when you make or
receive calls while on the Sprint National Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press

S

> Settings/Tools > Settings > More... >

Roaming > Call Guard.

2. Select On or Off and press

S

.

If the Call Guard feature is set to

On, you need to take

extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the

seven-digit number and press

N

. (A message is
displayed, informing you that you’re making a
roam call.)

2. Press Yes (left softkey) to place the call.

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press

N

. (A message is displayed, notifying you

that roaming charges apply.)

2. Press Yes (left softkey) to answer the call.

Note

Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available
when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.

Call Guard is turned off by default on your phone.

Note

If Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take
extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

contact can contain:

䢇 Up to five telephone numbers, one email address,

and one Web address. Each contact must contain at
