Bring back PTT! Miss my Nextel.

I just looked, the app I used to use for a Nextel replacement still exists, it's called Voxer. Cannot speak to it's quality anymore but I did use it a lot back in the day.

That was a horrible gimmick, mostly useful for annoying people. But I believe iPhones have it, or at least Apple Watch does

I was in my late teens and annoying AF! But the ability to speak quickly with my most frequent contacts without having to dial was really convenient.
