Walkie-Talkie Calls

Use the mobile computer to make walkie-talkie phone calls to other Nextel subscribers. Every walkie-talkie
number has 3 parts - an area ID, a network ID, and a member ID. An asterisk separates each part of the
walkie-talkie number. When placing a walkie-talkie call, you must also enter the asterisks as part of the
number, i.e., 166*455*8490. If the subscriber you are calling has the same area ID and network ID, you just
have to enter the member ID number.

Sending Call Alerts

Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you want to talk to him or her on a walkie-talkie call. When you send
a call alert, the recipient's phone emits a series of beeps or vibrations. The phone displays your name or
walkie-talkie number.
The recipient can:
answer the call to begin a walkie-talkie call with the sender
•
queue the call to store the call alert to the call alert queue, which is a list of call alerts
•
clear the call to dismiss and delete the call alert.
