15. 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, press and hold the
volume up (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 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. 79.
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.
