swiftyme · 20-09-2005, 20:09

Hi all - Got my 6230i today, and was just wandering, whats this push to talk thing, what exactly does it do? and also where can i get the uk settings as they aren't on the Nokia site.
Thanks
David

No UK network currently supports PPT.

swiftyme · 20-09-2005, 21:42

ah right - What exactly is it? and is it free?

Fred Smith · 20-09-2005, 22:02

Basically using your mobile as a walky talky. I doubt it will be free if it ever comes here, very popular in the States apparantly.

swiftyme · 20-09-2005, 22:07

yeah i doubt it, you can hope though eh!
Thanks
David

You need to be on contract. Orange did it with the Palm driven Treo 600 on business tariff.

I'm on contract, but still not uk compatible yet - still - any ideas when its available?
Thanks
David

I'd be suprised if we ever got it over here. Americans tend to use it like we'd use SMS. Speaking to my yank mates, they think we're mad, huddled ver little handset typing in little messages.....
