Get the Most out of Sprint Direct Connect
®
®
Sprint Direct Connect on your Sprint phone offers instant, two-way “walkie-talkie-style”
communication between you and your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button.
Important: When the Direct Connect feature is
active, your phone’s data services are enabled
and the Net Guard feature is disabled (Settings >
Others > Data Settings > Data and Net Guard).
Your Direct Connect Number
Your Sprint phone allows you two different
options for your Direct Connect number:
• Separate numbers (DC Only) – Your Direct
Connect number is a unique number (not your
wireless number). It is made up of three sets of
digits separated by asterisks (for example,
444*5555*111).
Display Your Direct Connect Number
►
Press
> Settings > Phone Info >
Phone#/User ID.
• A single number (Mobile+DC) – Your Direct
Connect number is the same as your wireless
number (for example, 555-555-1234).
16
Tip: Users with a Nextel phone must always add
asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial
Direct Connect numbers. If you use a single
number, make sure to tell your contacts with
Nextel phones to dial the ten-digit number using
asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example,
555*555*1234).
Dial Direct Connect Numbers
• If the person you are calling has a separate
number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial
any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving
the number in your Contacts, choose DC Only
for the phone type.
• If the person you are calling has a single
number for both voice calls and for Direct
Connect, use that ten-digit phone number to
make Direct Connect calls. You do not need to
add any asterisks (*) to the number. If you are
saving this number in your contacts, choose
Mobile+DC for the phone type.
