Call Alerts
Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you
want to talk to him or her on a Direct Connect call.
When you send a call alert, the recipient’s phone
emits a series of beeps, or vibrates, and displays
your name or Direct Connect number.
The recipient can:
• Answer — begin a Direct Connect call with the
sender
• Queue — store the call alert to the call alert
queue, which is a list of call alerts
• Clear — dismiss and delete the call alert

send to, as you would when making a Direct
Connect call.
