Description:

Push-To-Talk (PTT) is an always-on communications service that establishes a channel between one-to-one or one-to-many users without the added time to connect to a user. This is an ADD-ON service feature with Individual Nation or Family Talk rates.
Push to Talk (PTT) is a walkie-talkie type service allowing you to instantly reach others by eliminating the dialing and ringing steps in a regular cellular call. PTT calls can be made to one person or to a group of people.
