Tip
Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*)
between digits 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, 44*5555*111).
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 DirectConnect, you will need to enter asterisks (*)
between sets of numbers.
