Numbers
Every Direct Connect 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 Direct Connect call, you must
enter the whole Direct Connect number including
the asterisks.
Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in
Contacts, it is good practice to include the
whole Direct Connect number including the
asterisks.
Group Connect
SM
Calls
A Group Connect call is similar to a Direct Connect
call, but is made to multiple Direct Connect users
at once. You can create Groups from your phone
and call up to 20 Nextel users anywhere on the
Nextel national network to other Group
Connect-compatible phones*. You can create a
Group for one-time use or store it to Contacts so
you can call it at any time.
* Not all phones are Group Connect-compatible. See nextel.com for
more details on Group Connect.
Note: In order to store Groups to your i836, you
must use the 128K SIM card that came
with your phone. The 128K SIM card is
labeled "Nextel 600 Contcs & 25 Grps".
With this SIM card, a maximum of 25
groups can be added to your i836. Group
entries created with your i836 phone are
not readable by an older iDEN SIM-based
phone.
