How a PTT call works
When you make a PTT call, you can instantly speak to other Cingular PTT subscribers. During a PTT call only one person can speak at a time. You can tell whether it is your turn to speak by listening for the following tones:
PTT Floor Held tone
This tone plays when you press and hold the PTT Key. It indicates you have the floor and your speech will be heard by the other call participants.
PTT Floor Release tone
When you let go of the PTT Key you will hear this tone as will the other participants on the call. All of your speech prior to this tone has been heard by other participants. Others on the call are now aware that the floor is open and they have an opportunity to speak by pressing their PTT Key.
Error tone
If you attempt to speak by pressing your PTT Key and someone else still has the floor you will hear this tone.
