13. Push to talk
Push to talk (PTT) is a two-way radio service available
over a GPRS cellular network (network service).
You can use PTT to have a conversation with one person
or with a group of people (channel) having compatible
devices. While you are connected to the PTT service, you
can use the other functions of the phone.
To check availability and costs, additional features, and
to subscribe to the service, contact your network
operator. 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. 69
and ”Configuration settings” p. 69.
■ PTT channels
A PTT channel comprises a group of people (for
example, friends or a workteam) who joined the
channel after they where invited to. When you call a
channel, all members joined to the channel hear the call
simultaneously.
In a Public channel every channel member can invite
other persons, in a Private channel only the channel
creator can invite others.
You can set the status of each channel to Active or
Inactive. The number of active channels and the
number of members per channel is limited. Contact
your service provider for details.
