YOUR PUSH TO TALK APPLICATIONWHAT IS PUSH TO TALK? 1235CHAPTERWhat is Push to Talk?Have you ever had to use the phone to coordinate actions of, or give information to, a group of people? With Push to Talk (PTT) you can instantly inform all of them with a single call.How PTT worksTo make a PTT call, press the Side button to go to Push to Talk. Select the people you want to talk to (up to seven individuals at one time or up to 29 in a group); an icon next to each name tells you whether they're available. Then press and hold the Side button to make the call. Since the speakerphone is automatically on, hold your Treo XXX like a walkie-talkie, a few inches away from your mouth, and listen for the tone that signals that you can start to speak. Like a walkie-talkie, PTT allows only one person to speak at a time. No one else can speak until you give up control by releasing the Side button. A tone signals that you gave up control. Now somebody else on the call can have a turn speaking. What can I do with PTT?Here are a couple of examples of what you can do with PTT:•Your work colleagues are scattered in several buildings on campus and around the country. You created a Project Team DID YOU KNOW?The speakerphone is automatically on when you are available, unless your Ringer switch is set to Sound Off
YOUR PUSH TO TALK APPLICATIONWHAT IS PUSH TO TALK?1245CHAPTERgroup in PTT. An important last-minute change happens in the project; for things to go smoothly, you need to communicate the news right away. Using Push to Talk, you can instantly speak to the entire team; everyone hears the same thing, and everyone knows what everyone else needs to do. •You’re on vacation with your family and you create a Family Vacation group. You each decide to head off in a separate direction for the day. When you’re ready to set a meeting place, you can call the whole family at once. No more putting one person on hold and switching lines or calling people multiple times to arrange the gathering.Sign up for PTT serviceTo use PTT you must first subscribe to the AT&T Push to Talk service and then set up the Push to Talk application on your Palm®Treo™ XXX smart device. Next, create a PTT list by inviting people to be your PTT contacts.Your PTT contact list is separate from your contact list in the Contacts application, and the people you invite must also subscribe to the AT&T Push to Talk service. So to get the full benefit of Push to Talk, you may want to encourage a bunch of your friends, family members, or business colleagues to also subscribe to the AT&T Push to Talk service. DID YOU KNOW?With a monthly service plan, PTT may be more economical than sending text messages to a group of people or making conference calls.
