Group Calls
In a Nextel Direct Connect Group Call, you can communicate instantly with a
group of people that you have previously set up as a Talkgroup. Group Calls
contact all members of the Talkgroup at the same time. Your Nextel Sales
Representative or Nextel Customer Care must set up each Talkgroup and
provide you with a Talkgroup number before you can use this feature.
