One of our local radio stations here in southern california is now telling Sprint listeners to dial #939 from their phone to call directly to the radio station. I tried it and it works. When we call # phone numbers, is it just like dialing a regular phone number as far as the minute charges? First time i've heard of us being able to dial # phone calls.

Thanks

The # dialing numbers is just a shortcut the radio station has worked out w/ SPCS.

This was designed as a promotional item for basically free advertising.

The announcer states something like "now dial #939 on your SPCS handset to win a pair of tickets."

It also works out for the listener as they don't have to remember or dial a full number.

That is all there is too it.

Since when are you Google? I know what there phone number and name is, it's a country music radio station. I just wanted to make sure that when we dial # and then the three digit number that it doesn't cost any more than regular air time. :D
