Verzion Wireless will be offering PUSH TO TALK (like Nextel’s Direct Connect) service starting this Monday (2003-08-18). The downside is, the plans are $20 more per month. Additionally, I don’t know if shared lines will get to use PTT or not. Finally, they only have one phone that supports it, and that phone runs $149.99 with a two-year contract.
Still PTT is so wonderful to have. And, like Nextel’s new offering, it’s nationwide.
