If you only request the Direct Connect Feature via Sprint/Nextel the phone
services wil not be activated. That is a service option with the phones.

I read somewhere that you could PTT phone to phone without service on their
new phones. I know this is not true with the older models. If this is true
how does it work? Does it run in the 900mhz band that the phone usually
uses or does it run on FRS frequency ~400mhz? or something else?
