A little over a year after launching its innovative Push To Talk (PTT) service, Cingular Wireless, now part of the new AT&T, today gives customers the option of experiencing the service on a pay-per-use basis.

Customers using one of several wireless phones can now use the company's PTT service, as needed, for $.15 per minute. In addition to having access to the largest PTT network coverage area, a customer can receive several enhanced PTT features unavailable on similar services offered by some other carriers including:

  • Availability- unique icons allow PTT users to see if other PTT customers are available before making a PTT call.
  • Convert to Cellular - enables a PTT call to be converted to a regular wireless voice call.  Calls with up to 30 participants can be converted effectively creating a mobile conference call.
  • Voice Messaging - allows customers to send a voice message to one person or a whole group.

Customers who want to activate a PTT phone with the pay-per-use capability can do so by visiting a Cingular retail store or calling customer care.

PTT also offers a number of other features, including:

  • Quick Group Calling - allows users to select individuals from their contacts and instantly place a group call.
  • Call Waiting - gives customers the option to accept or decline a second incoming call whether currently on a PTT or regular cellular call.
  • Contact Alerts - lets customers receive alerts when a contact becomes available.
  • Call Me Alerts - allows a user to urgently let someone know they need to talk.

Customers of AT&T's wireless unit who are interested in signing up for an unlimited monthly PTT plan can add service for $9.99 a month per line.
