Nextel Direct Connect®
Nextel Direct Connect is a digital two-way radio feature that allows you to

traditional cellular calls.

individual. You can use the Group Call feature to contact a group of people 
designated as a Talkgroup.

Nextel customers in similar industries or geographic regions. So, if you need to 
reach a client, vendor, or contractor instantly, work smarter by joining the 
Nextel Business Networks. For more information, call 1-888-NEXTEL2
