Hi
Im going to New York in a couple of days with friends and we were interested in PTT to contact each other. Just a few questions:
Can I use my UK sim to use PTT?
Is there any specific networks I have to be on?
Is it free?
Whats the range like?
Would it be better to get a PAYG sim there?

Cheers

you should get a prepaid BOOST mobile. that is the best PTT (prepaid) in the US. it would be alot better than bringing your UK sim.

any more questions just let me know. I have had alot of experience with them.

If I remember correctly, PTT isn't free, is just cheaper than usual cell minute.Why dont u just search boost+ptt with Google and find out for yourself?!
