Dialing Direct Connect Numbers
Every Direct Connect number has three parts:
ⅷ
An area ID
ⅷ
A network ID
ⅷ
A member ID
An asterisk separates each part (for example:
999*999*9999). When you enter a number containing
all three parts, you must separate them with asterisks.
Using Just the Member ID
If you are contacting someone sharing your network
and area IDs, you only need to enter the member ID
(the last part of the number).
1. Touch Dialer and enter a member ID.
2. Press and hold the DC button.

Note:
The number of digits in each part of a Direct Connect
number may vary. For example, your Direct Connect
number may be formatted as 999*999*9999, while
another valid number may appear as 555*555555*55.
If you are calling or saving a Direct Connect number for
a Sprint phone with Direct Connect capabilities, the
Direct Connect number may be the same as the
wireless phone number. When dialing or saving the
Direct Connect number, insert asterisks in place of
hyphens (913*555*1234).
Tip:
When you store a Direct Connect number in Contacts, be
sure to include the entire number, including the asterisks.
