How a PTT call works
When you make a PTT call, you can instantly
speak to other AT&T PTT subscribers. During a
PTT call only one person can speak at a time.
You can tell whether it is your turn to speak by
listening for the following tones:
PTT Floor Held tone
This tone plays when you press and hold the
PTT Key. It indicates you have the floor and
your speech will be heard by the other call
participants.
PTT Floor Release tone
When you let go of the PTT Key you will hear
this tone as will the other participants on the
call. All of your speech prior to this tone has
been heard by other participants. Others on the
call are now aware that the floor is open and
they have an opportunity to speak by pressing
their PTT Key.
Error tone
If you attempt to speak by pressing your PTT
Key and someone else still has the floor you
will hear this tone.
