Your Direct Connect Number
Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number:
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
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 ten-digit number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens
(for example, 555*555*1234).
