Push to Talk
Push to Talk
Push one button to contact other Verizon Wireless Push to Talk (PTT)
customers. A Barge call automatically connects, while an Alert call
sends a tone—giving the recipient the option to either answer or
ignore the call. For complete details go to verizonwireless.com/ptt.
NOTE
PTT is off by default, which means you are not able to send or
receive PTT calls and alerts. To use PTT, check the Push to Talk
option of Call settings to turn it on. See “Call settings screen” on
page 269.
About Push to Talk
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. A Push to Talk call is terminated by touching
the end call icon
on the PTT call in progress screen or will
automatically time out after 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 Dialer to
make a Push to Talk call, you must enter the 10-digit phone number
of the called party. Your Push to Talk service cannot be used for any
applications that tether your phone to computers or other devices for
any purpose. Push to Talk-capable phone and Calling Plan required. If
you wish to switch from a Push to Talk Calling Plan to another Calling
Plan, you must first stop using your Push to Talk-capable phone and
purchase or provide another compatible phone.
