Code Nextel Direct Talk Calls

channel. Channels represent the radio frequencies on which 
you make and receive Nextel Direct Talk calls. Codes allow you 
to minimize interference from others using the same channel 
as you.

same channel and code and have their phones set to Direct 
Talk. Be aware that others using both your same code and

conversations as well.
