You can make a Direct Connect call by entering a Direct
Connect number manually or by selecting an entry

History. (For information on saving Direct Connect
numbers to Contacts, see “Saving a Direct Connect
Number” on page 48.)
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 10-digit number using asterisks (*) in
place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).
One way to easily ensure that your contact has your
correct number is to call them so that they can save
your number from their Call Log. Ask them for their
contact information. Remember you will need all
digits of the number to make a successful call. Also,
if they have a Nextel phone or a separate number for
Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*)
between sets of numbers.
