Nextel Direct Connect
®
Nextel Direct Connect is a revolutionary way to communicate with your
co-workers and clients…for a fraction of the cost of traditional cellular
calls.
You may want to talk to a co-worker right away, but you don’t want to
page that person or leave a lengthy message. With Nextel Direct
Connect’s Private Call feature, you can find them wherever they are in
your home coverage area. Or, maybe you need to communicate a last-
minute schedule change to your sales people…all 100 of them. It’s easy
with Nextel Direct Connect’s Group Call. This digital two-way radio
feature lets you contact all of them at once!
In addition, Nextel has created Nextel Business Networks
SM
, which
allows you to communicate with individuals outside as well as inside
your company. These Networks link Nextel customers in similar
industries or geographies. 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
