2USING PUSH TO TALK

The Push to Talk (PTT) feature on your Kyocera KX444 phone allows you to use your phone like a walkie-talkie to communicate with another individual with Verizon Wireless PTT service. Simply select a contact, then press and hold your phone’s Push to Talk (PTT) button to speak.

Tip: On a PTT call, only one person can speak at a time. Once you have finished speaking, release the PTT button and listen for the other party to reply.
