13. Push to talk

Note: This feature may not
be available in your product
due to your subscription
(network service).
Push to talk (PTT) over cellular is a
two-way radio service available over
a GSM/GPRS cellular network
(network service). PTT provides direct
voice communication. To connect,
press the PTT key.
You can use PTT to have a
conversation with one person or with
a group of people having compatible
devices. When your call is connected,
the people you are calling do not
have to answer the phone. The
participants should confirm the
reception of any communication
where appropriate, as there is no
other confirmation whether the
recipients have heard the call.
To check availability and costs, and
to subscribe to the service, contact
your network operator or service
provider. Roaming services may be
more limited than for normal calls.
Before you can use the PTT service,
you must define the required PTT
service settings. See
p. 61.
