Making Calls
Your i830 phone makes two types of calls: digital
cellular phone calls and Boost Walkie-Talkie calls.
With Boost Walkie-Talkie calls, you use your phone
as a long-range, digital walkie-talkie.

Dialing Boost Walkie-Talkie Numbers
Every Boost Walkie-Talkie number has 3 parts — an
area ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an
asterisk between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Boost Walkie-Talkie call, you
must enter the whole Boost Walkie-Talkie number
including the asterisks.
Tip: When you store a Boost Walkie-Talkie
number in Contacts it is good practice to
include the whole Boost Walkie-Talkie
number including the asterisks in case you
travel with your phone, or another Boost
Walkie-Talkie user whom you are trying to
reach travels with their phone, outside of
your network.
