13. 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 to, 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 person or group you are calling does not have to answer the phone. The participants should confirm the reception of any communications 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. 104.

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