Push to talk (PTT) (network service) is a real-time voice over IP service implemented over a GSM/GPRS network. PTT provides direct voice communication connected with the push of a key. Use PTT to have a conversation with one person or with a group of people. Before you can use PTT, you must define the PTT access point and PTT settings. You may receive the settings in a special text message from the service provider that offers the PTT service. You can also use the settings wizard application for configuration, if supported by your service provider. For more information on the application, see the guides for your device at www.nokia.com/support or your local Nokia website. In PTT communication, one person talks while the others listen through the built-in loudspeaker. Speakers take turns responding to each other. Because only one group member can talk at any time, the maximum duration of a speech turn is limited. The maximum duration is usually set to 30 seconds. For details of the speech turn duration for your network, contact your service provider. Warning: Do not hold the device near your ear when the loudspeaker is in use, because the volume may be extremely loud.
Phone calls always take priority over push to talk activities.
Define a PTT access point
Many service providers require you to use an internet access point (IAP) for your default access point. Other service providers allow you to use a WAP access point. Contact your service provider for more information. If you do not have a WAP connection, you may need to contact your service provider for assistance with the first-time connection or visit www.nokia.com/phonesettings.
