Talkgroup Calls

Using Predefined Talkgroups
A Talkgroup call is a Walkie-Talkie call to a
predetermined group that has been provisioned by
Sprint or an account administrator.
Groups can include up to 200 users that are in the
same Walkie-Talkie network — that is ,users that
have the same Walkie-Talkie network ID and are
located in the home market. (The network ID is the
second set of numbers in a Nextel Walkie-Talkie
number. See "Dialing Walkie-Talkie Numbers" on
page 22 for more information.)
Before you can make or receive Talkgroup calls, a
Talkgroup must be established. After the group is
established, you must join the Talkgroup.
