Make Group Connect Calls
You can make Group Connect calls by selecting saved groups from your Contacts, selecting from
group calls saved in History, or by creating groups for one-time use.
Make a Group Connect Call From Contacts
1. From standby mode, press
CONTACTS
(right softkey).
2. Highlight a group and press the DC button to begin the Group Connect call.
3. Continue the Group Connect call in the same manner as a one-to-one Direct Connect call.
Note
: Only one person at a time may speak on a Group Connect Call.
4. When you are finished, press
to end the call. (By default, when you end a Group Connect
call that you initiated, all other participants are dropped from the call. To change this option, see
Set Group Termination Options
.)
Note
: If you get an error message saying that your contact “is not reachable via Direct Connect” or
“this number is not DC capable,” please check to see that you have entered or highlighted a valid
Direct Connect number.
Note
: Currently Sprint phones do not support Group Connect calls with Nextel and PowerSource
phones. This enhancement is planned for future implementation. If your calls are not going through,
please check to see whether your contact is using a Sprint phone.
