About Your Direct Connect
Number
Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for
your Direct Connect number:
ⅷ
Separate numbers (DC Only) — Your Direct Connect
number is a unique number (not your wireless
number). It will be made up of three sets of digits
separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
ⅷ
A single number (Mobile + DC) — Your Direct Connect
number is the same as your wireless number (for
example, 555-555-1234).
Dialing Direct Connect Numbers
ⅷ
If the person you are calling has a separate number
for Direct Connect, make sure you dial any asterisks
Note
If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this
indicates that Direct Connection is no longer active
on your account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere
with Direct Connect functionality.
Important
When the Direct Connect feature is active,
both the On/Off and Net Guard features
are disabled (
Settings > More... > Data).
