Off-Network Walkie-Talkie

Direct Talk is an all-digital, off-network walkie-talkie
service that works anywhere, anytime between
compatible phones. You can make and receive
Direct Talk calls outside of network coverage or
when network service is not available*. You can

a Direct Talk-capable phone. Direct Talk has a

buildings), among other things, may impact range availability.
