Using Nextel Direct Connect®

Nextel Direct Connect on your Sprint phone offers instant two-way “walkie-talkie-style”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, or coordinating with others — fast. And Call Alert sends 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 available:

Direct Connect®–Allows two-way radio communication with other Direct Connect users.

Group Connect® – Create and manage groups “on the fly” or online to connect instantly with up to 20 other Direct Connect users at the same time. (Currently Sprint phones do not support Group Connect calls with Nextel or PowerSource phones.)*

Team DCSM– Create a group online that allows nationwide

group calling with up to 35 total Direct Connect users (with Sprint phones only). With Team DC, all members can access the most up-to-date group list on their phone.

* At a futuredate, users will be able to include Direct Connect users

with Nextel phones in their Group Connect groups.

About Your Direct Connect Number

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

1. Separate numbers — Your Direct Connect number is a

different one from your cellular number. It will be made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 44*5555*111).

2. A single number — Your Direct Connect number is the

same as your cellular number (for example, 44*5555*111).

50 Section 2B: Making and Answering Calls

Dialing Direct Connect numbers:

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 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.

Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*)

Tip

between digits 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, 44*5555*111).

One way to easily ensure thatyour 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.

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

Check the icon for the highlighted number. If it has a and icon, it is a valid DC number. – or – Select a contact and press . “DC capable”will appear below the valid Direct Connect number.

WARNING

911 Emergency Calling

Sprint recommends thatTTY 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 equipmentor 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.
