Sprint Direct Connect 35
Your Direct Connect Number
Sprint provides two options for the Direct Connect number. The options are:
● Separate numbers (DC only) – your Direct Connect number is a unique number (not
your wireless number). It is made up of three sets of digits separated by asterisks (for
example, 444*5555*111).
● A single number (Mobile+DC) – your Direct Connect number is the same as your
wireless number (for example, 555-555-1234).
Dial Direct Connect Numbers
You can make a Direct Connect call using one of the ways below.
● 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, save
it in the DC only field.
● 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. If you are saving this number in your
Contacts, save it in the Mobile+DC field.
Note: 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. Ask them for their contact information.
Remember you will need all digits of the number to make a successful call.

The Direct Connect number may be the ten-digit wireless phone number of the
