PUSH TO TALK
Push-To-Talk (PTT) is a two-way communication service that works like a
walkie-talkie. PTT is half-duplex, meaning communication can only travel
in one direction at any given moment.
To control which person can speak and be heard, press a button while
talking and then release it when they are done. The listener then presses
their button to respond. This way the system knows which direction the
signal should be traveling in.
Push to Talk calls may only be made with other Verizon Wireless Push to
Talk subscribers and only from the National Enhanced Services Rate and
Coverage Area. The Push to Talk feature can be added to calling plans
with a monthly access fee of $34.99 or higher (or to Family SharePlan
secondary lines). For optimal Push to Talk performance, all callers on a
Push to Talk session must have an EV-DO Rev. A-capable device and be
receiving EV-DO service. A Push to Talk call is terminated by pressing or
will automatically time out after ten (10) seconds of inactivity. While
you are on a Push to Talk call, voice calls received will go directly to Voice
Mail. When you are on a voice call, you cannot receive a Push to Talk call.
You cannot prevent others who have your wireless phone number from
entering you into their Push to Talk contact list. Only one person can
speak at a time during Push to Talk calls. When using your phone keypad
to make a Push to Talk call, you must enter the ten-digit phone number
of the called party. Presence information may not be available for all Push
to Talk contacts. The timeliness of presence information may be impacted
by the network registration status of a Push to Talk contact. Your Push to
Talk service cannot be used for any applications that tether your phone
to computers or other devices for any purpose. If you add the Push to Talk
feature, coverage for your data services will be limited to the National
Enhanced Services Rate and Coverage Area.
For more information, please contact your service provider.
