While I don't know many people who use Push-to-Talk (PTT), a walkie-talkie communication feature on some mobile devices, AT&T and Verizon Wireless have cut their pricing to half. What used to cost $10 is now being offered for $5 per month according to RCR Wireless. Push-to-Talk is available on some current offerings from AT&T, including the AT&T Tilt.

Push-to-Talk enables some functionality that may be useful, including directly connecting you to a colleague or family member in the same way that a walkie-talkie would enable you. This way, you don't have to dial and there is no delay. Also, you can set your status to available or away, much in the same way that instant messenger programs act, so that users know when to not disturb you.
