Making Calls
Your i215 phone makes 2 types of calls: digital
cellular phone calls and Boost Walkie-Talkie calls.
With Boost Walkie-Talkie calls, you use your
phone as a long-range, digital walkie-talkie.
To make a phone call:
1 Enter the Boost Walkie-Talkie number you want
to call.
2 Press s to place the call.
3 Press e to end the call.
TomakeaBoostWalkie-Talkiecall:
1 Enter the Boost Walkie Talkie number you want
to call.
2 Press and hold the Boost Walkie-Talkie button
on the side of your phone. Begin talking after
your phone emits a chirping sound.
3 Release the Boost Walkie-Talkie button to listen.
Tip: To let someone know you want to talk to
him or her on a Boost Walkie-Talkie call,
send a call alert. See “Call Alerts” on page
22.
Dialing Boost Walkie-Talkie Numbers
Every Boost Walkie-Talkie number has 3 parts —
an area ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with
an asterisk between each of these parts. For
example: 999*999*9999.
When you place a Boost Walkie-Talkie call, you
must enter the whole Boost Walkie-Talkie number
including the asterisks.
Tip: When you store a Boost Walkie-Talkie
number in Contacts it is good practice to
include the whole Boost Walkie-Talkie
number including the asterisks in case you
travel with your phone, or another Boost
Walkie-Talkie user, outside of your network.

vibrates, or lights up its backlight.
