If you get an error message saying that your contact
―is not reachable via Direct
Connect
‖ or ―this number is not DC capable,‖ please check to see that you have entered
or highlighted a valid Direct Connect number.
Note:
Currently Sprint phones do not support Group Connect calls with Nextel and

calls are not going through, please check to see whether your contact is using a Sprint
phone.
