  I've always wondered why we cant use the push to talk too...

  I think u gotta be part of a push to talk network first..
  
  I dont think any one can have it. Maybe big organizations like the Police for example.

  But police is using radio frequency am i rite? Unless the push to talk function enables us to use it like a walky talkie?

  iDEN?
  
  Played with it before.During the launch days in late 90s. The phones had a flat fee and you had to pay more to activate the SMS and Voice call function.

  iDEN is a private network thing,But if you subscribe to the voice plan, you will be on Singtel's GSM network too.

  Why not?...... DNA (Digital Network Access) is the company licensing this sort of equipments.
  
  The equipments fuction both as a talkie & phone. The talkie is using the push to talk fuction like those in the Nokia phones but all MSPs do not support push to talk.
  
  So our normal lines cannot support

  So basically you can still use this phone in Singapore normally (like a mobile) by just poppin in the sim card.
  
  Anyone saw this phone for sale anywhere in singapore ?
