About this app

Sonim Direct Mode (DM) works with Sonim XP8 and compatible Sonim XPand Direct Mode accessory to communicate when you have no service. With the Sonim DM App, you can talk, text, use maps, and share your location with other Sonim DM App users who are within range when you have no cellular or Wi-Fi service. Sonim XPand DM accessory is required for the Sonim DM App to work with the Sonim XP8 handset.

Ratings and reviews

Second time i write this review because the first one mysteriously dissapeard. Do not download this or start it. you can not kill the process and it automatically defaults to restart any time you try to exit it. I'm ABSOLUTELY regretting getting the sonim. I switched from apple for this. You can't even uninstall it. Thinking i'll have to root this oversized paper weight to get rid of it. For those of you with DM autostarting, may have found a work around. turn on stealth mode then turn off..

Very well designed application. Works as advertised and better than the old Nextel Direct Talk. I already loved my XP8 and the Direct Mode app does a lot more than I expected. Love the ability to use maps and share location when there is no cellular coverage!

This app ruined the xp8 experience. You can't delete it and it takes over the PTT button. Makes it where you cannot use the Linc app without going through direct connect I am waiting on a new phone now.
