Before Making Your First Direct
Connect Call

For Direct Connect to be enabled on your phone, it
must be added to your account by a Sprint Customer
Service representative. See “Activating Your Phone” on
page 3.

Register and Activate Direct Connect

1.

Confirm the Direct Connect feature is currently
activated on your account.

2.

Press

Menu > Settings > Direct Connect > Update DC

.

This validates your Direct Connect service with
the Sprint Network and then restarts the phone.

3.

Verify that Direct Connect is now active:

The

icon should not be visible at the top of

the screen.

About Your Direct Connect Number

Your Sprint phone allows you two different options for
your Direct Connect number:

1.

Separate numbers (

DC Only

) — Your Direct Connect

number is a unique number (not your wireless
number). It will be made up of three sets of digits
separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).

2.

A single number (

Mobile + DC

) — Your Direct

Connect number is the same as your wireless
number (for example, 555-555-1234).

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

If the person you are calling has a separate
number for Direct Connect, make sure you dial
any asterisks (*) in the number. If you are saving
the number in your Contacts, choose

DC Only

for

the phone type.

Important

When the Direct Connect feature is active,
both the On/Off and Net Guard features are
disabled (

Settings > More... > Data

).

Note

If the Net Guard feature is ever enabled, this indicates
that Direct Connection is no longer active on your
account. Enabling Net Guard can interfere with Direct
Connect functionality.
