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 "PTT settings,"

p. 68.
