Potentially dumb question
Okay, I am considering switching to iDEN because I am somewhat fed up of GSM, and I've got a dumb question on my mind. Is chirping only mobile to mobile, or can it also be used to contact someone with a landline? I prefer asking here than asking the arrogant asses that Telus Mobility are.

DC (Direct Connect) only works between Nextel (not Sprint) subscriber's phones...
...
I warned you it was a dumb question!
I know very little about iDEN, that's why I asked...

Hmm, my question was a tad murky. I'll reiterate it. The walkie-talkie function that iDEN phones have, can it only be used to reach another Nextel (in my case, Mike) user, or can I also use it to reach a landline user?
...
No, you can't. Thats like trying to send a Text Message to a land-line phone. Totaly incompatable. Plus, don't Nextel use some wierd paging number for there DC? (I.E. *8#1 86**256 or somethin crazy like that)
