Push to talk (PTT) (network service) provides direct voice communication connected with the push of a key. With PTT, you can use your device as a walkie-talkie. You can use PTT to have a conversation with one person or with a group of people, or join a channel. A channel is like a chat room: you can call the channel to see if anyone is online. The channel call does not alert the other users; the users just join the channel and start speaking with each other.

In PTT communication, one person talks while the other users listen through the built-in loudspeaker. Users take turns responding to each other. Because only one user can talk at a time, the maximum duration of a speech turn is limited. For details of the speech turn duration for your network, contact your service provider.

PTT settings

Select Options > Settings and select User settings to define your preferences for PTT, or Connection settings to change the connection details. Contact your service provider for the correct settings.

Tip: You may also receive the settings in a message from the provider of the PTT service.

Log in to PTT service

If you have set Application start-up on in User settings, PTT automatically logs in to the service when started. If not, you must log in manually.

To log in to the PTT service manually, select Options > Switch PTT on.

When the Ringing type setting of your device is set to Beep once or Silent, or there is an ongoing phone call, you cannot make or receive PTT calls.

Make a PTT call

Warning: Do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is in use, because the volume may be extremely loud.

To make a PTT call, select Options > PTT contacts, select one or several contacts from the list, and press the voice key. Remember to hold the device in front of you during the call so you can see the display. The display informs you when it is your turn to speak. Speak towards the microphone, and do not cover the loudspeaker with your hands. Press and hold the voice key the entire time you are talking. When you have finished talking, release the key.

To end the PTT call, press the end key.

When you receive a PTT call, press the call key to answer the call or the end key to dismiss the call.

Created PTT calls

Select Options > PTT log > Created calls, and a call. To make a PTT call to a contact, select Options > Talk 1 to 1.

To send a request to a contact to call you, select Options > Send callback request.
