A Direct Connect call ends automatically after there is
no activity on the call for several seconds.
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. Enter a member ID.
2. Press and hold the DC button.
Making Direct Connect Calls From Contacts or
Recent Calls
If you have numbers stored in Contacts (page 97) or
Recent Calls (page 92), you can use these numbers to
make calls.
1. Press / > Contacts or Recent Calls .
2. Highlight an entry and then press and hold the DC
button to call the entry’s Direct Connect number.
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.
Tip: You can make Direct Connect calls while viewing entry
details on either list. Display the entry details or

from another phone (in Recent Calls) and press and hold
the DC button.
