Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Nextel / July 2003Disable cell phone and just use DC / PTT ?
Nextel used to have a plan that was DC only, but no more. Can they still allow me to disable all cell calls on one of my phones so the PTT feature is all that works ? OR, can this be done at the phone level? Recently, marks@nospam.org asked... > Nextel used to have a plan that was DC only, but no more.

The "National Shared Minute UDC Plan" is Unlimited Direct Connect, with NO cellular minutes included, however cell calls can be sent or recieved at a cost of $0.40US per minute. On any plan you have the option of restricting outgoing calls for $2.50 a month, or restricting incoming calls for $2.50 a month, or restricting both for $5.00 a month. This allows Direct Connect to function as normal. > OR, can this be done at the phone level? only through willpower... Of course, I'm a newb here, and I could be completely wrong. QPC- Yes, it can be restricted at the phone level. Though it requires that you put all the DC #'s in the phone book and/or all cell #'s in the phone book that you want to be able to call. If it's not in the phonebook the phone won't call it. Once you have them in the phonebook, you can take the phone to an ASC and ask them to disable the phones keypad using RSS. They'll know what you're talking about and they will be able to do it. Of course, you could do it that way, or you could call customer care and ask them to add the OSC CODE of "NOIO" to your account, NOIO=NO Incoming Outgoing Let us know what you end up doing. > Recently, marks@nospam.org asked... > > Nextel used to have a plan that was DC only, but no more.

In RSS you can simply disable the phone functions and let it work normal for DC including entering new DC numbers? > Yes, it can be restricted at the phone level.

I don't know who told you they don't offer the plan. I have my wife on the National Shared UDC (Unlimited DC). It doesn't come with with any minutes, and has unlimited DC. Its designed to be a shared plan, but when I recently switched my phone to the Free Incoming 400, they specifically said I don't need to take her phone off the National UDC plan. While it doesn't come with any minutes, it does carry 100 bonus minutes, and she rarely uses more than 15 minutes a month (no joke). >> Nextel used to have a plan that was DC only, but no more. |
