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).
2. A single number (Mobile+DC)
Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234
Dial Direct Connect numbers:
+ If the person you are calling has a separate number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial the asterisks (*) in
the number.
If the person you are calling has a single number for both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that ten-digit
+
phone number to make Direct Connect calls. Do not add any asterisks (*) to the number.
Tip: Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct Connect
numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial the ten-digit
number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).
