direct connect is the walkie-talkie style communication, which is only usefull when working with a group of people on say a job site, where everyone needs notified, otherwise it's a glorified way to make a phone call. (mostly for nextel converts)


Why is that? I use them all over the country for convos to friends and family. Very useful for a LOT more than a "jobsite" or notifying groups, and glorified phone call?? Perhaps... BUT it doesn't use minutes. He doesn't have friends here and won't need a lot of minutes? Just basically him and his wife? Why not use DC while their here? Justa thought... Bobby.
