Push To Talk; Define A Push To Talk Access Point - Nokia 3250 User Manual

■ Push to talk

Push to talk (PTT) (network service) is a real-time voice over IP service (network service) available over a GSM/
GPRS network. Push to talk provides direct voice communication connected with the push of a key. Use push to
talk to have a conversation with one person or with a group of people.
Before you can use the push to talk service, you must define the push to talk access point and push to talk
settings. You may receive the settings in a configuration message from the push to talk service provider.
In push to talk communication, one person talks while the others listen from the built-in loudspeaker. 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 network operator or service provider.
Phone calls always take priority over push to talk calls.
Besides the packet data counters, the phone registers only one-to-one calls in the recent calls lists in Log. The
participants should confirm the reception of any communications where appropriate as there is no other
confirmation of 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. Note that roaming services may be more limited than home network services.
While connected to the push to talk service, you can use the other functions of the phone. Many of the services
available for traditional voice calls (for example, voice mailbox) are not available for push to talk
communications.

Define a push to talk access point

Many service providers require you to use an Internet access point for your default access point. Other service
providers allow you to use a WAP access point. Contact your service provider for more information.
If you do not have a WAP connection, you may need to contact your service provider for assistance with the
connection.
