Cingulars PTT
Anyone (basically) reps have any idea when cingular will be getting PTT? And when they do get it do phones like the z500a that have the PTT feature already be able 2 use it? And will it cost extra each month? o yeah this is asking a lot but will we be able 2 talk 2 ATT cust with PTT (if they get it 2)

PTT is Push To Talk... Like Nextel, Southern Linc, Verizon, and Sprint have. Most notably Nextel.
...
IF you search the forum on if there are plenty of posts on it. But the last time I heard in here it won't be until end of the year or the 1st of next. As for using the phone not sure might need a software update if it will even work. being that they don't have it yet..

😁 M2M still better because ptt is walkie talkie frquencies which are shorter range overrall, a few blocks to a few sq miles overrall, and sometimes others may eavesdrop your convos , so what u say can be heard by others without you knowing, so watch what is said about supervisors, boss's daughter, rumors, etc...on the other hand M2M has voice privacy, so juicy gossip is a go, for strictly work related within a short range(downtown delivry or few block radius between office and warehouse ptt works , but so does M2m, and ptt has to be within same carrier, just like m2m

A few blocks?? What are you talking about? You can PTT cross country man!
Someone who is in Chicago, LIKE ME, can PTT someone in Florida, like my cousin. We did so with Nextel. When they use the term "walkie talkie", they dont mean literally walkie talkie's like you used to play with as a kid. The walkie talkie feature uses the same network as M2M. Just because the walkie talkie is usually heard on speaker doesnt mean thats the only way to walkie talkie on a phone, you could always turn off the speaker and use the phone as if you were making a standard call.
As far as eavesdropping, no, they cannot. And if they can, they could also do the same with your standard mobile call.
Where did you pull these facts out of? Seriously.....

definately within network, and as forvoice privacy, a dedicated line for m2m, open access for PTT eavesdropping is different than for m2m, this came from training material distro'd around launch of PTT as counterpunch on internal training memo

It depends on which PTT your referring to as there are 2 different types on NEXTEL, one on-network and the other off-network.
The on-network is nation-wide and available anywhere NEXTEL has service (typicially in metro areas).
The off-network (or called Moto-Talk) is available anywhere but only on certain NEXTEL phones. It's range is limited to only a few miles and is affected by outside influences such as buildings and foliage.
As to it's security, on-network PTT is very secure and can't be monitored off the air by someone unless they have a very expensive ($30K) service monitor.
I haven't had the opportunity to research off-network PTT privacy, but being it's spread-spectrum I'm sure you not going to have some scanner buff eave...

From what I have herd it should be sometime around September. The company that we are teaming up with is Kodiak. And yes you will be able to PTT to ALL providers. From what I hear the other person dosn't even need a PTT phone as long as you have one you can PTT even to a landline... Not exactly sure how that works mabey someone else has some more info.
...
I doubt you will be able to PTT to all providers considering they use different PTT solutions.
If that was possible, Nextel would be able to PTT Verizon or Sprint, vice versa and what not. But thats not possible and I dont think it will be with Cingular, at least not for a long time. Im really not sure how you'd PTT a land line either...

Im honestly not sure about most of those questions, we hear everything last in a call center. As for the attws thing, no way. We aren't coming out with anything new for those accounts. They would have to switch to Cingular to have that ability.
...
we're definitely wicked uninformed at the call centers. the only way i find out about anything is from looking on here. it gets pretty bad to be honest.
