12. 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 the volume up 
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 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. 85.
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.
