Making Direct Connect Calls

1.
Enter a Direct Connect number. (See "Dialing
Direct Connect Numbers" on page 28.)

Press and hold the Direct Connect (DC) button on
the left side of your phone. Begin talking after your
phone emits a chirping sound.

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers
Every Direct Connect number has three parts:
An area ID.
A network ID.
A member ID.
An asterisk separates each part (for example:
999*999*9999). When you enter a number containing
all three parts, you must separate them with asterisks.
28 3. Making and Answering Calls
Note The number of digits in each part of a Direct
Connect number may vary. For example, your Direct
Connect number may be formatted as
999*999*9999, while another valid number may
appear as 555*555555*55.
If you are calling or saving a Direct Connect number
for a Sprint phone with Direct Connect capabilities,
the Direct Connect number may be the same as the
wireless phone number. When dialing or saving the
Direct Connect number, insert asterisks in place of
hyphens (913*555*1234).
Tip When you store a Direct Connect number in
Contacts, be sure to include the entire number,
including the asterisks.
Using Just the Member ID
If you are contacting someone sharing your network
and area IDs, you only need to enter the member ID
(the last part of the number).
1.
Enter a member ID.
2.
Press and hold the DC button.
