Push to Talk (PTT)
Welcome to PTT
Push to Talk (PTT) from Cingular lets you see whether
your family, friends, and co-workers are available to
talk before you call. You can reach them individually or
all at once via a group call, all in an instant. Read on to
hear about all of the features Cingular Push to Talk has
to offer.
Initialize your PTT Service
Begin initializing your PTT service by pressing the PTT
Key (black button on left side of phone) or by entering
Push to Talk(6) from the Main Menu.
You will then register your name and, once
initialization completes, begin adding your family,
friends, and co-workers who are also Cingular PTT
subscribers.
PTT Tips
PTT is a great way of communicating instantly with the
people who are important to you. Here are a few tips to
help you.
1. Make sure you are holding the PTT Key down while
you talk.
2. Make sure you don't start talking until AFTER you
hear the tone.
3. Note the location of the speakerphone and
microphone to make sure you aren't covering either
with your grip.
4. PTT calls can be easily started with the flip closed.
During a PTT call with the flip open and speaker OFF,
the call will be terminated when the flip is closed.
When the speaker is ON, closing the flip will not
terminate the call.
5. Turn the volume up high to more clearly hear your
PTT calls.
