after failing many time with the attempt to successfully launch a nationwide PTT service i think verizon has finally got it. there are 4 phones out now that are ptt and their price as well as the new plans are actually reasonable. primary lines start at 50 bucks and secondary lines are 20 but include unlmited ptt, nights and weekends and IN calling and i think 500 min for the 50 bucks. anyways, the phones are as follows...

lg vx4700 $99.99


kyocera 444 $49.99 buy one get 4 free


moto t300p $29.99


moto v60p $69.99


and finally where the PTT will work

 

Ouch. That's a small PTT footprint.

Now you are getting a good look at the real Verizon because if I'm not mistaken, PTT only works on Verizon and everywhere you have digital Verizon coverage, you get PTT.

The rest of everywhere else you get service and NO ROAMING with a Verizon phone it actually "the help." And that would include Sprint.

But anywhere it's nice to see Verizon get their PTT up and going even though they are a distant third to Nextel and Ready Link.

the map you see is the express network map. this is where txt msg., , pix msg., web and now ptt will work. the digital phone coverage is much more extensive

 

hmmmm

Contract is up in July with Verizon.. Would be cool to get this. I'm assuming you can get a family plan, etc? That's what I have currently.

 

Why can't you use Verizon PTT anywhere on the entire Verizon digital coverage area, like in Oklahoma City? Just asking, because at Sprint, anywhere you can make a Sprint digital phone call, you can make a Ready Link (PTT) call.

 

nextel


verizon

 

im not really sure why to be honest. you would think that anywhere you had digital serivce you would have ptt. ill try to find out and get back to you. im curious myself

 

who wants to go to oklahoma anyways? :wink:

 

yes, you can get 1 line with ptt, or all the lines with ptt...the new plans are alot better this time around..

 

distance third to Ready Link and Nextel....

I meant overall: features, handsets, service, coverage, pricing, subscriber base, etc.

 

hands down sprint is the best!!

 

def man. our ptt phones suck

 

the vx4700 looks pretty nice

 

^^^ the only one if any i would consider getting
