Call Alerts
Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you
want to talk to him or her on a Boost
TM
walkie-talkie
call.
When you send a call alert, the recipient’s phone
emits a series of beeps and displays your name or
Boost
TM
walkie-talkie number.
The recipient can:
• Answer — begin a Boost
TM
walkie-talkie call with
the sender
• Queue — store the call alert to the call alert
queue, which is a list of call alerts
• Clear — dismiss and delete the call alert
