ReadyLink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ReadyLink is a "walkie-talkie" service, which utilizes Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), offered by the Sprint Nextel Corporation. It is necessary to have a Sanyo or a Samsung ReadyLink capable phone and a matching service-plan in order to use this feature. ReadyLink seeks to mimic the forerunning "MOTO Talk"/Nextel walkie-talkie service, except that ReadyLink was created for the CDMA-based phones under the Sprint PCS side of the corporation.

Sprint is expected to replace Readylink with Qualcomm's QChat. This technology will run over the Sprint high-speed EV-DO data network, giving it the closest comparable speeds to Motorola's iDEN Direct-Connect in the push-to-talk industry.

In Canada, the Bell Mobility network (including Aliant and SaskTel Mobility) implements similar technology with their 10-4 service. Some of the same phones are available, and Bell subscribers can roam with the service on Sprint's network.[1]
