How in the world does T-Mobil expect to compete with the other carriers when they'll be the only ones without PTT. Maybe they'll lower their price drastically. I'm only staying with T_Mobil until the dust settles on which carrier has the best price/options. Verizon is looking good. anyone have info on when tmobile is going ptt or are they at all? You do realize that there a millions of cellular subscribers who do not want/need PTT. If they did, they'd all be subscribing to Nextel. The PTT is a niche market at best. T-Mobile is very competitive with their peak minutes, and data plans. I just came over to this NG & was going to ask the same question!

They offer iDen which is a trunked 2-way radio service. Thanks to the Carterphone decision in the mid 1960's they can connect to the telephone network. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >>nextel has spotty cellular service >Nextel does not offer cellular service.

I have that now. I push a button and my wife and I talk. or I push a button and my son and I talk. or...... Well you get the idea. Now if I want a walkie talkie I will go to a 2-way company. Oh wait a minute, I will not buy anything from Nextel....... It would have to be a different 2-way company. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net ooh, so witty, thanks for no helpful info. > >anyone have info on when tmobile is going ptt or are they at all? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > John S. > e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net If T-Mo never offers PTT they'll have to limit their market to the 97% of phone customers that don't want or need it. Besides, I've heard it on good authority that T-Mo is going to leapfrog past simple PTT technology and instead is going to bring back Morse Code. TTS (Tap to Signal) handsets should be available first quarter next year, and Sony's got one with a bluetooth wireless Morse Code key coming! I'm not sure if I should be laughing, but I am! > If T-Mo never offers PTT they'll have to limit their market to > the 97% of phone customers that don't want or need it.
