MetroPCS Communications today introduced ChatLINK, a new Push-To-Talk feature that enables customers to quickly link up and chat with their friends and family across different networks at the same time. MetroPCS is the first wireless carrier to offer this type of service between users of different wireless carrier and landline networks. ChatLINK allows MetroPCS subscribers to create a network of up to 10 individuals and connect with them in walkie-talkie like discussions at the press of a button. Similar to instant messaging, subscribers are able to add contacts and view their availability with a series of presence icons indicating that they are online, offline, silent, or in do not disturb modes.
A ChatLINK session begins when a subscriber sends an invitation to an individual or group to join a session. When the recipient receives the invitation they simply follow the instructions to join the session and press any key to begin speaking. Subscribers can invite any domestic phone number to a ChatLINK session. MetroPCS’ allows subscribers unlimited use of ChatLINK for $5 a month, a significant value over other carriers. ChatLINK is available in both English and Spanish interfaces.
