How to use your Direct Connect number Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for your Direct Connect number: 1. Separate numbers (DC Only) Your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not your wireless number), made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
Wait for “Push to Talk” to appear onscreen. Press and hold the DC button. Wait for a tone to sound and “Me” to appear onscreen before you begin talking. 4. Release the DC button to listen. 5. Press to end the call. Make a Direct Connect Call From Contacts: 1.
Follow the onscreen instructions to respond when you receive a notification. [Return to Table of Contents] How to use One-Touch Direct Connect You can select the function of the DC button when it goes to standby mode. By default, it displays your Direct Connect (including Call Alert and Invite) call history.
Reply to a Call Alert: 1. With the Call Alert displayed, press and hold the DC button to return the call. 2. Continue with the Direct Connect call as previously detailed. Note: Preset text messages with Call Alert can only be sent to and from Direct Connect users with Sprint phones. If you send a Call Alert with text to another Direct Connect subscriber without this capability (such as a Nextel user), the user will receive the Call Alert but will not receive the text message.
How to use Invites Sprint Direct Connect lets you send an invite to initiate a Group Connect call or to a specific contact who has not yet joined the call. Send Invites: When the group members receive an Invite, their phones sound a tone and display your name (if it is in Contacts). While on a call, you may also send an invitation message to a specific Contacts entry, or to the group members who have not joined the call yet.
