for USA market most likelly.
Why do you need to talk every 5 minutes if u have walkie talkie?
Why not talking every now and than when u feel like it.
And BTW... why do u hate americans? All of them? Sounds stupid to me to hate all of them. Do u know all of them or what? |

PTT is polular in america
even cingular now is having ptt available.
they plan on everyone having it, but its not going to happen
and people, keep in mind, not all americans are dumb, not even most, so people need to quit with the stupid american bullshit |

@p900 they work over network, OR there is a setting on a few of the newer models, where if for some reason u dont have service, or for whatever reason, u cna switch to another channel, and they work up to 6 miles off the network.
if you think they are popular in NY... go down south... everyone has them. |

One thing i wonder about this service is: do it work across providers?

Almost expected that reply. One of the reasons i have read for it not showing up in norway, where im from, was that the providers can not agree on costs when a message have to pass from one to the other.
