|
|
TELUS Mobility announced Instant Talk, a new Push To Talk (PTT) service operating on the company's national PCS digital wireless network. Like TELUS Mobility's Mike network, Instant Talk allows clients to use their wireless phones to communicate with contacts across Canada at the push of a button, just like a walkie talkie.
TELUS Mobility also announced the coming extension of Mike phone and PTT coverage from Canada and the United States into Mexico and South America later this quarter.
National digital PTT service makes a mobile phone work like a walkie talkie. By pressing a single button, clients can communicate immediately with one or many contacts at once, saving time and money compared to regular wireless phone calls. Instant Talk, the newest PTT service from TELUS Mobility, lets clients Push To Talk throughout TELUS Mobility's 1X PCS coverage area across Canada. Instant Talk service will be available with two new PTT-capable phones, the Kyocera KX440 and the Motorola V65p - both featuring a dedicated button on the side of the phone that allows clients to simply Push To Talk. Unlimited Instant Talk service is available as an add-on to most TELUS Mobility PCS rate plans.
TELUS Mobility also announced that, in partnership with NII Holdings (formerly Nextel International), a mobile communications company for business clients in Latin America, it plans to launch Mike's Direct Connect and phone service in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Peru in Q1. Last year, TELUS Mobility extended Mike's Direct Connect service throughout the continental United States and Hawaii.
