your subscription (network
service).
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 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 people you are
calling do not have to answer the phone.
The participants should confirm the
reception of any communication 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. 75.
While you are connected to the PTT
service, you can use the other functions
of the phone. The PTT service is not
connected to traditional voice
communication; therefore many of the
services available for traditional voice
calls (for example, voice mailbox) are not
available for PTT communication.
