Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / May 2005Walkie talkie feature
Can someone explain how the new walkie talkie feature works on the mobile network were you can press a button on your phone to talk to someone in close proximity.Due to them saying the call is free is this because you are talking through the same cell tower (basically it is just the repeater) and they are using the same frequency range as the GSM network?I have a background in radio comms so you can get technical with the explaination. Thanks.  SignatureDenonuser I think your thinking of push to talk.. Both handsets send voice over the GPRS network, (ie. computer data like the internet) for a flat fee, i.e on optus 95c a day or whatever it is.. > Can someone explain how the new walkie talkie feature works on the > mobile network were you can press a button on your phone to talk to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > with the explaination. > Thanks. and its got nothing to do with same cell, it has the same coverage as gprs SignatureFreakyAye You'd also require handsets that support PTT feature.
