Push to talk

Push to talk (PTT) is a two-way radio service available over
a GPRS cellular network (network service).
You can use PTT to have a conversation with one person
or with a group of people (channel) having compatible
devices. While you are connected to the PTT service, you
can use the other functions of the device.
To check availability, costs, additional features and to
subscribe to the service, contact your service provider.
Roaming services may be more limited than for normal
calls. This feature may not be available, depending on
your phone.
Before you can use the PTT service, you must define the
required PTT service settings.
See "Configuration settings," p. 61.

PTT channels

PTT channel types

A PTT channel comprises a group of people (for example,
friends or a work team) who joined the channel after they
were invited. When you call a channel, all members joined
to the channel hear the call simultaneously.
In a Public channel, every channel member can invite
other persons; in a Private channel, only the channel
creator can invite others.
You can set the status of each channel to Active or
Inactive.
See "PTT settings," p. 61.
The number of active channels and the number of
members per channel is limited. Contact your service
provider for details.
