All I said was that I've heard differently, and since I can get fired
for stating what I've heard, then its disrespectful to insult me on it,
you'd do the same thing.

I'm just asking for some proof, or are you / Phil (same person?) just
assuming that it will be $20 a month, like you've been insulting O'Sirus
and myself because you think we guess.

Don't go demanding proof from us if you're going to bounce around the
subject when you're asked for proof. We're under a confidentiality
agreement, which means LEGALLY I can't talk about it. If I do, I can
get fired and/or fined.
(And yes, I signed one when I was hired).

no, when the first PTT phone is available the service will be too. They
won't launch the phone without it working.

I have heard many different answers to How Much. $20 is one of the
highest i've heard. No one will know for sure until it hits stores,
sprint loves to change stuff at the last minute.

But our other Sprint employee knows its less, but saying so would get
him fired. WAIT, he did say so.

There is no definate answer on the price, a lot of people have a good
idea, but things change all the time. Look at Vision, started out at
$10 a month and is now $15 or free. No one really knows when it is
going to be released either. Yesterday some were talking like it might
not even be until next year 1st quater.

Does anyone know if Sprint will have the same lag time that Verizon
customers are experiencing on the PUSH TO TALK or will they be
compatible to Nextel.

When will the push to talk be released. Does anyone know for sure or is
this just RUMORS that someone is posting. Oh yeah I'm knew to this web
site. I hope this will be informative.

Right now, Rumors is all you'll get. Employees like myself are being=20
kept on a pretty tight leash when it comes to PTT. And after seeing=20
Verizon's response when one of their employees revealed (in their eyes)=20
a little bit too much, we'd be fools not to keep ourselves tight-lipped=20
also.

As an aside, you're using a web site to access this newsgroup, but it's=20
not part of the web site. It's part of Usenet:

***
Usenet is a collection of user-submitted notes or messages on various=20
subjects that are posted to servers on a worldwide network. Each subject=20
collection of posted notes is known as a newsgroup. There are thousands=20
of newsgroups and it is possible for you to form a new one. Most=20
newsgroups are hosted on Internet-connected servers, but they can also=20
be hosted from servers that are not part of the Internet.=20
***
http://searchnetworking.techtarget.c...nition/0,,sid7
_gci213262,00.html

Not trying to berate you. Just pointing that out so you're not=20
surprised if/when someone points out that this is not, in fact, a web=20
site.

True, Sprint may well start its PTT with a lowball price and a secret
plan to bump the price up in 6 months, like it did with Vision, whose
price will likely escalate with time.

It has the lag time, nextell built their network with the idea of
walkie-talkie, sprint and verizon didn't. No other current carrier
will.

It's possible, and probably likely, but no one will know until it
happens.
