Push to Talk Plus is a mobile app that connects you to contacts using many devices, including basic phones, smartphones and tablets. Customers who sign up for plans of $80 or more will also receive 100 to 200 additional minutes, depending upon the plan they select, the operator says.Ĭustomers who sign up before Dec. 2, all push-to-talk customers receive unlimited night and weekend calling, as well as 1,000 national mobile-to-mobile minutes, Verizon Wireless says. The monthly access fees for the service - which is an add-on to Verizon Wireless' America's Choice plans and includes unlimited one-to-one push-to-talk - range from $60 to $220, depending on the number of America's Choice voice minutes, which range from 400 to 3,200. Analysts say existing Verizon Wireless handsets cannot be retrofitted to handle the push-to-talk service but that later this year, Verizon Wireless plans to roll out other push-to-talk-capable handsets. The service supports Motorola's V60p digital handset, which sells for $150 with a two-year contract for the Verizon Wireless service. The Push to Talk Plus mobile app helps you stay in touch with employees and important contacts using a smartphone or tablet. Users can create up to 50 group lists and store 150 individual push-to-talk contacts, Verizon Wireless says.
This feature supports groups of up to 10 participants. Business customers can set up and manage group calling lists on Verizon Wireless' Contact Management Web site without going through customer service or a Verizon Wireless retail store, the carrier says. Push-to-talk allows customers to connect directly with other push-to-talk users on the same network by pressing a button on their handset.
