Real-Time Presence
This section describes the real-time presence using the Push-to-Talk (PTT) application.
With real-time presence, you can tell at a glance if the status of the person you want to call is
Available, Do Not Disturb (DND), or Offline. DND and offline contacts do not receive PTT calls.
However, they can send and receive Integrated Secure Messages. The presence indicator is
displayed next to the name of the contact. Likewise, you can tell others of your availability by
selecting either “Available” or “Do Not Disturb” within the PTT application. When you turn off your
phone, you are automatically marked as “Offline” to others.

Meaning of Presence
Available You are logged in to the PTT application, ready to receive PTT calls, Instant Personal
Alerts (IPAs), and Integrated Secure Messages.
Offline You are logged out from the PTT application and cannot receive PTT calls, alerts, or Integrated
Secure Messages.
No Connection When the PTT application cannot communicate with the PTT server, it displays
Offline in the status bar or system notification, and your availability shows as No Connection. For
more information, refer to the Loss of Data Network Connection on page 163 section.
Calling Restrictions
When you are in the DND state you cannot receive PTT calls, but you can make PTT calls to other
available users.
IPA Origination Restrictions
When you are in the DND state you cannot send an IPA to other contacts, because you cannot
receive calls from others. If you try to send an alert, you will see the following message: You
cannot send an alert while your availability is “Do Not Disturb”. Please
change your status.
