Sprint charges $10, only on plans it otherwise is not included on, for superior PTT.

Isn't it funny how the Verizon and AT&T folks love to hammer Sprint because of their cheaper rate plans, but laud the cheaper pricing of their own PTT plans that are nothing but a joke. More like push to eventually talk. 🤣

which leads me to my question. GSM is not only the older technology, it also has the most dropped call ratio. Since ATT's PTT is an extension of GSM voice calling, how is this going to be better than IDEN's Direct Connect?
