Push to talk

Push to talk over cellular (PTT) is a two-way radio service available over a GSM/GPRS cellular network. Push to talk provides
direct voice communication connected with the push of the PTT key.
You can use push to talk 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. Besides the GPRS counters,
the phone registers only one-to-one calls in the recent call lists in
of any communications where appropriate as there is no other confirmation whether the recipient(s) have heard the call.
To check availability and costs, and to subscribe to the service, contact your network operator or service provider. Note that
roaming services may be more limited than for normal calls.
Before you can use the push to talk service, you must define the required push to talk service settings.
While you are connected to the push to talk service, you can use the other functions of the phone. The push to talk 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 push to talk over cellular communications.
