Direct Connect Numbers
Sprint Direct Connect Now is compatible with two different types of Direct Connect numbers.
● Separate numbers – Some Direct Connect numbers are a unique number (not a standard
wireless phone number). This type is made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for
example, 444*5555*111). When calling a person or storing a contact with this type of number, be
sure to include the asterisks in the number.
● A single number – Some Direct Connect numbers use the same numbers as the wireless number
for the phone (for example, 555-555-1234). If the person you are calling has a single number for
both voice calls and for Direct Connect, use that ten-digit phone number to make Direct Connect
calls. You do not need to add any asterisks (*) to the number.
Your Direct Connect Number
Your Direct Connect number is the same as your wireless phone number (for example, 555-555-1234).
Sprint Direct Connect Now is compatible with this type of Direct Connect number as well as Direct
Connect-specific numbers separated by asterisks (for example, 444*5555*111).
Tip: Users with a Nextel phone must always add asterisks (*) between sets of numbers to dial Direct
Connect numbers. If you use a single number, make sure to tell your contacts with Nextel phones to dial
the number using asterisks (*) in place of hyphens (for example, 555*555*1234).
Tip: One way to easily ensure that your contacts have your correct number is to call them so that they
can save your number from their Call Log or Recent calls list. 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 Direct Connect, you will need to enter asterisks (*) between sets of
numbers.
Direct Connect Contacts
Entries from the Contacts application on your phone will appear in the Sprint Direct Connect Now app by
default. When you save a new contact in the Sprint Direct Connect Now app, it will likewise be saved to
the Contacts application.
