Anyone know how long the delay is between transmissions? I know with the Nextel its fairly instant. Also, do both parties have to have the application and therefore roughly the same phone? My GF has a POS Nokia phone so I doubt it would work that way. |

okay guys...
there are 2 different PTT functions... VoiP is one of them...however the other one, push to talk, is not viop. it is another phone type thing that some wireless companys use. from what i have gathered VoiP (like vonage) and PTT (like nextel) are two totally seperate things.
and the time between transmissions for nextel/boost/any other like this is alwyas almost instant, just like a regular cell phone. However, for VoiP, i dont know, i have never messed with it.
Also, your phone has to support PTT, and will be built to support it. You both have to have the same service provider (like nextel) but nextel users and boost (just an example) users can not comunicate with PTT. I dont believe any nokia phones support the PTT function. |

no problem 
i was re-readind the pirst post in this thread, and he said his folks live 12000 miles away, so i am guessing he is talking about the VoiP type of PTT. but i could be wrong. |

That is why Nokia, Ericsson and others also uses "PoC" to differentiate them from the traditional PTT.
Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) is a new implementation of the PTT concept. PTT is something familiar to radio/walkie-talkie (including Nextel and TETRA systems)
Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) is Voice over IP based on GSM/GPRS.

VoIP is a technology not only meant for the internet but for any network using the "IP" (as in IP in the TCP/IP communication protocol suite) network layer protocol - the largest of which is the Internet.

SE will make phones with specific features only if there's a demand from network unlike Nokia who try and influence networks by including features in their handsets that are useless.
Currently there are a handful of GSM networks that support PTT service, if it takes off expect SE to start including in their phones early next year.

Yeah I was thinkin along the same lines, some nokias with PTT last year deemed rather useless then, but now we in SA have the PTT available to us yet we cant use it, although its gonna start growing on users!!!
MXit is starting to introduce it slowly to so I expect it to grow quickly!!
Im loving it  |

I know that here in Australia Optus was promoting PTT about six months ago, although now it seems non-existent, I don't think I here much about it anymore. I have seen it on The Apprentice though, you know that show with Donald Trump. Anyway, I don't think that there's much use of it anyway.

PTT Has been termed Banned in India...! The only PTT provider was HUTCH-Essar and they have discontinued the service following a ruling by TRAI- Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.

Yeah, I also want to know why they would ban PTT unless state-owned telecoms company complained that somehow this new technology would eat into their profits.

This was done at the Behest of CDMA operators, As India is Still fighting the Spectrum Allocation against the GSM and CDMA Operators.
I read that in The papers a yr back, That was when Tata Indicom and Hutch-Essar had been asked by the courts to remove the PTT service, Since it was an Old news I' really cannot confirm the exact reason-However this is what I remembered, More likely or less the reason was based on this. Maybe Ayush or any of our other Indian Friends can shed some more light...!
The only Two Providers of PTT were : TATA Indicomm ( CDMA)/ Hutch ( GSM)
