Push to Talk (PTT)

Welcome to PTT

Push to Talk (PTT) from Cingular let's 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 (gray 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.
