Nextel Direct Connect® on your Sprint phone offers instant,
two-way push-to-talk (PTT) communication between you and
your family, friends, and co-workers, all at the click of a button.
Perfect for get-in get-out conversations such as
checking status, getting information, getting directions
or coordinating with others — fast. And Call Alert sends
a repeating alert to other Nextel Direct Connect
subscribers to let them know you want to reach them.
The following Nextel Direct Connect services are
available:
䢇 Direct Connect
®
– Allows two-way radio
communication with other Direct Connect users.
䢇 Group Connect
®
– Create and manage groups in
Contacts, “on the fly” or online to connect instantly
with up to 20 other Direct Connect users at the same
time.* (Currently Sprint phones do not support Group
Connect calls with Nextel or PowerSource phones.)
䢇 TeamDC
SM
– Create a group online that allows
nationwide group calling with up to 35 Direct
Connect users (with Sprint phones only). With
TeamDC, all members can access the most up-to-
date group list on their phone.
* Later in 2008, users will be able to include Direct Connect
users with Nextel phones in their Group Connect groups.
