Push To Talk For Mobile Phones
Posted on Feb 08, 2010 under Entertainment, Mobile and Gadget | No CommentOne of the latest services to be offered by mobile phone providers is Push to Talk. It has really taken off in the states, and over the next few months, it will no doubt become really popular in the UK as well.
The idea, phone review, behind Push to Talk, or PTT is that instead of making a conventional two way phone call to your friends or family using your mobile, you send a short snippet of conversation, phone review, to them as you would a text message.
The idea behind PTT is that, phone review, is works in a similar way to an old fashioned CB radio, in that you simply push a button on the side of your phone, and it connects with the, phone review, person you want to call, and transmits what you say to them.
When they want to respond, they do the same.
In the US, where it was first introduced as a service by the big networks, PTT really, phone review, caught on with younger people because the cost of the service was a fraction of the price of regular phone calls. The mobile phone networks were able to charge less for PTT messages than regular phone calls because it used a lot less bandwidth than a regular voice call.
Push To Talk is a great way of keeping in touch with a whole range of people, and is a very flexible, phone review, service.
You can set up your phone to send messages either to a specific, phone review, contact from your phone book, or even send it to multiple people as you can with a text. It becomes quick and simple to keep in touch with all your friends, and recording a message takes a fraction of the time a text does to type out and send, phone review, making PTT a really convenient way to stay in touch with people.
PTT has become so popular in the US that it now used almost as universally as a text message. Many people simply record a quick message, and then send it on to all their friends at once in order to arrange an evening out, give them some news, or simply say pass on a great joke.
More and more mobile phone handsets that are being relapsed in the UK now feature, phone review, the PTT function, and, phone review, it is, phone review, likely to become as popular here as it is elsewhere if the prices for sending a short message, phone review, using the Push to Talk service are as low here as they are in the rest of the world.
