Special Dialing Codes
Non-Emergency Numbers
Nextel supports many “non-emergency” numbers
(such as #77, 311,...) provided by local and state
governments. These numbers are used to report
non-emergency incidents. If the situation includes
imminent danger or loss of life, you should dial 911.
Telecommunications Relay Service
Nextel supports services for communicating with
speech and/or hearing impaired individuals. You can
dial 711 to reach a local Telecommunications Relay
Center. You will then be connected to your
destination number. Relay service works through a
Communications Assistant who reads messages
typed into a TDD/TTY device by a speech or hearing
impaired individual to you. The Communications
Assistant then types your spoken messages to the
hearing or speech impaired individual.
Telecommunications Relay Service is available 24
hours a day, seven days a week, and every call is
strictly confidential.
