■ Push to talk channels
A PTT channel comprises a group of people (for example, friends or a
workteam) who joined the channel after they where invited to. When
you call a channel, all members joined to the channel hear the call
simultaneously.
There are different types of PTT channels:
Public channel — Every channel member can invite other persons.
Private channel — Only persons which receive an invitation by the
channel creator can join in.
Provisioned channel — A permanent channel is created by the service
provider.
You can set the status of each channel to Active or Inactive.
The number of active channels and the number of members per
channel is limited. Contact your service provider for details.
