Calling or texting not immediate enough for you? Do you sit back and think "Gosh, I wish the person I want to speak to could hear my voice immediately...no pesky ringing or vibrating to clue them in to my intrusion!" Do you crave the garbled, crackling sound quality only a walkie-talkie (or a drive through window!) can offer?You don't, you say? Shocking! But apparently Verizon/Cingular/Various pay-as you go (criminals! inquire within!) cell phone services think you do!
One can only imagine the conversations that gave rise to this technology:
Engineer #1: You know what is so annoying?
Engineer #2: What?
Engineer #1: Answering my cell phone. I hate it!
Engineer #3: You know what I wish?
Engineer #1: That everyone in a 15 foot radius could hear both sides of my cell phone conversations!
Engineer #2: I think we might be on to something...
Oh! And just like a walkie-talkie...only ONE person can speak at a time. That's right. If you're pushing the button while the other person is talking, you won't be able to hear each other. Charming! A NEW technology that is exactly like an OLD technology that is vastly inferior to the technology of a regular cellular phone in every way.
