Mike's Direct Connect
Service
There are two ways of communicating over Mike's
Direct Connect service:
• one-to-one using a private call
• one-to-many in a group call
Both of these methods are very similar to two-way
radio, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional
cellular. Mike's Direct Connect also offers the Call
Alert feature, which gives recipients a notice, similar
to a ringer, that you would like to speak to them.
One-to-One Private Calls
Making Private Calls
1 Enter the Private ID you want to call.
2 Press and hold the PTT button on the side of your
handset. Begin talking after your handset emits a
chirping sound.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
Tip: To let someone know that you want to talk to
him or her on a Private call, send a call alert.
See "Call Alerts" on page 17.
Every Private ID number contains 3 parts — an area
ID, a fleet ID, and a member ID — with asterisks
between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Private call, you must enter the
entire Private ID number including the asterisks.
When you store a Private ID number in Contacts,
include the asterisks with the entire Private ID
number in case you travel with your handset outside
of your home area.
From the Keypad
To enter the Private ID you want to call, press the
numbers on the keypad.
If you make a mistake:
• To clear a digit, press A under Delete.
• To clear all digits, press and hold A under
Delete.
• To insert or delete a digit anywhere in the string of
digits you have entered, scroll left or right.
• To cancel, press e.
