My cousin's phone will give the busy direct connect signal unless he is
alerted. Anyone know how to rectify this? Thanks.

Has he put a different antenna on it? I bought one, a titanium telescoping,
and had the same problem. Went back to the old and all was ok.

I didn't notice a different antenna but I will check. Thanks for the
response.

If he is web browsing on it, it will show 'busy in data' when you direct
connect.
The alert will go through because it keeps trying.

Just a possibility.

Thanks for the reply. He wasn't web browsing when I tried to direct
connect him.

You didn't state which phone so I will guess condor I60 I90 I95 I85 era.

If speaker it turned off on those phones - you cannot key them up - only
akert.

make sure speaker is on - press the speaker button.

btw this does not work with my I736 and I want it to. It is a cool
feature that forces people to alert you rather than talking when it
might be inconvenient to you.

Unless of course I am wrong then disregard this whole message.

Not sure if that was the problem but I will check. Thanks for the reply.
I am hesitant to think that was it as he is able to answer the alert.

You are wrong- my old i90 always connected with the speaker off. I didn't
have to be alerted unless I was using the phone at the time.

Would it not be IMPOSSIBLE to "key-up" (as opposed to alert) someone if
their speaker is off? - How would they hear it? C'mon guy - double check
your phone.

if he is outside his normal DC area (ex i like in the nor cal region an
if i travel to so cal) *sometimes* the phones will not allow outgoing d
because it needs to be turned off then on again. This is fairly commo
but if it's a nuisance it could be a provisioning error and you shoul
call nextel cs

The call filters are on. It will only allow users to alert instead of just
chirp in. It is easy to fix:

Click menu, styles and scroll to the style that is checked. Press menu
again, then select edit. Scroll to Call Filter and set all to Off.
