Dialing Nextel Direct Connect Numbers
Every Direct Connect number has three parts —
䢇
An area ID.
䢇
A network ID.
䢇
A member ID.
An asterisk separates each part (for example: 999*999*9999).
When you enter a number containing all three parts, you
must separate them with asterisks.
Using Just the Member ID
If you are contacting someone sharing your network and area
IDs, you only need to enter the member ID (the last part of
the number).
1.
Enter the member ID of a Direct Connect number.
2.
Press and hold the Direct Connect button on the side of
your phone. Continue as you would on any Direct
Connect call.
Note
The number of digits in each part of a Direct Connect number
may vary. For example, your Direct Connect number may be
formatted as 999*999*9999, while another valid number
may appear as 555*555555*55.
Tip
When you store a Direct Connect number in Contacts, it is
good practice to include the whole number, including the
asterisks.
