Nextel and Motorola announced the availability of Direct TalkSM, a unique service that provides a back-up off-network walkie-talkie service for use when customers are outside Nextel network coverage areas.

 

 

This service, available only on the Motorola i315 and i325 from Nextel, provides a range of up to six miles. Nextel is the first national carrier to offer this type of off-network service integrated directly into a cellular handset.

Direct Talk is the first service of its kind to allow digital group and private walkie-talkie calls through 10 channels and 15 privacy codes, allowing for higher voice quality than traditional analog radio communications. The user can easily activate Direct Talk by entering "off-network mode" through the phone's keypad. Direct Talk is also the only service that provides users with an acknowledgement tone, letting them know instantly whether or not someone is available on their channel.

The Motorola i315 and i325 rugged handsets are the first handsets equipped with the off-network walkie-talkie feature. The handsets are designed for use by public sector and field-based workers, as well as people who enjoy rugged outdoor activities, who may require a durable handset with a back-up communications system.

Pricing for the Motorola i315 is $174.99 with a 2-year contract. The Motorola i325 is available for $399.99 with a 2-year contract.
