Mike's Direct Connect Service - Motorola i830 User Manual

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.

Every Private ID number contains 3 parts — an area

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.
