It's called "group calling." PTT is an inexpensive add-on service to your Verizon Wireless service plan. Plus, push to talk can let you speak to several different people on several different phones at the same time. No dialing a long number and then waiting for someone to pickup. PTT has the advantage that as soon as you designate your recipient and push the talk button your voice comes out of the other phone. "Bring me another piece of 4 inch pipe."
