Push To Send Picture Benefits
Push To Send Picture

A picture says a thousand words, and sending a picture makes things clearer. By snapping a photo and sending it via Push To Talk, you can identify a needed part, document what is missing on a job site, document a color, identify people or capture a special event and share it with other SouthernLINC Wireless subscribers. Even phones without cameras can receive, view and send pictures they have received from others.

Step-by-step how-to

  • Press your phone's menu key
  • Scroll to PTT Features or LINC Manager (older phones) and select "Send Picture"
  • Choose "A Contact" or "A Recent Call"
  • Capture a picture or choose a picture stored in your phone or on your phone's memory card
  • Press PTT button to send
  • The PTT Send Picture feature requires the recipient to accept the picture. If the recipient does not accept it, the sender will see a message saying "Contact not accepting message."
