question
how does off network pust tot talk work? or for that matter what is it? and do i have to pay extra to gave it?
...
When off network the PTT function works the same as a standard 2-way radio. The communication is point-to-point and the phones need to be in range of one another to communicate. Our rep brought a couple demos by and we were able to talk at a distance of 2.8 miles. This is in the city and I can only imagine the range will increase in rural areas, on highways, etc.

Ya, that's exactly right. You can use it just as regular PTT, just have to have the specific handsets that are capable of the off network walkie talkie... like the i315 or the i325.
