Using Nextel Direct Connect™
To place a one-time Nextel Direct Connect Group Call
A Group Call enables you to communicate with a group of people that have been
set up by Nextel as a talkgroup. Each talkgroup is assigned a number and you use
this number to place Group Calls.
After you join a talkgroup, your handheld monitors the activity of the talkgroup.
When a talkgroup member places a Group Call, you receive visual notification or
other notification, depending on how you have configured your handheld's
notification profiles.
