Push To Talk; Connect And Disconnect; Make And Receive A Ptt Call - Nokia 6086 User Manual

12. Push to talk

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 volume up 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
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. 79.
While you are connected to the PTT service, you can use the other functions of
the phone. The PTT service is not connected to traditional voice communication;
therefore many of the services available for traditional voice calls (for example,
voice mailbox) are not available for PTT communication.

Set the phone to use the loudspeaker or earpiece for PTT communication. When
the earpiece is selected, use the phone normally by holding it to your ear.
Warning: Do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is
in use because the volume may be extremely loud.
When connected to the PTT service, you can make or receive channel calls, group
calls, or one-to-one calls. One-to-one calls are calls you make to only one person.
