About push to talk
Push to talk (PTT) (network service) is a real-time voice-
over-IP service that uses a GSM or GPRS network. PTT
provides direct voice communication, with the push of a
key. Use PTT to have a conversation with one person or
with a group of people.
Before you can use PTT, you must define the PTT settings
(access point, PTT, SIP, XDM and Presence). You may receive
the settings in a special text message from the service
provider that offers the PTT service. You can also use the
Settings wizard application to configure PTT, if supported
by your service provider. For more information on the PTT
application, see the user guide for your device or your local
Nokia website.
In PTT communication, one person talks while the others
listen through the built-in loudspeaker.
Warning: Do not hold the device near your ear when
the loudspeaker is in use, because the volume may be
extremely loud.
Speakers take turns responding to each other. Because
only one group member can talk at any time, the
maximum duration of a speech turn is limited. The
maximum duration is usually set to 30 seconds. For details
of the speech turn duration for your network, contact your
service provider.
Phone calls always take priority over push to talk activities.
