Making and Answering
Nextel Direct TalkCalls
Nextel Direct Talk allows for two-way radio communication
“off the network” between two or more phones equipped
with this capability. This feature is very useful in areas
without network coverage.
You can make –
ⅷ Code calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the network
and using open channels and codes. In these calls, anyone
using your same channel and code can hear your
conversation.
ⅷ Private calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the
network and using the wireless phone numbers of the
participants. In these calls, others using the same channel
cannot listen in.
When using Direct Talk mode, the two phones should be a
minimum of six feet apart to maximize performance and
improve transmission range. You can only make Direct Talk
calls to users located within your range. This varies according
to terrain, man-made structures, and atmospheric conditions.
The following features are not available while in Direct Talk
mode:
ⅷ On-network phone calls.
ⅷ On-network Walkie-Talkie, Group Walkie-Talkie, Talkgroup
calls, and Call Alerts.
ⅷ Data Services.
ⅷ Sending and receiving messages.
ⅷ Call timer.
ⅷ Sending Call Alerts.
ⅷ Call forwarding.
