Walkie-Talkie
Numbers
Every Boost
TM
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
TM
walkie-talkie call, you
must enter the whole Boost
TM
walkie-talkie number
including the asterisks.
Tip:
When you store a Boost
TM
walkie-talkie
number in Contacts it is good practice to
include the whole Boost
TM
walkie-talkie
number including the asterisks in case you
travel with your phone, or another Boost
TM
walkie-talkie user whom you are trying to
reach travels with their phone, outside of
your network.
