Abstract

See full text

A system is provided for push-to-talk voice messages. The system includes a processor and a voice message component. When executed by the processor, the voice message component identifies a request from a first handset to communicate with a second handset via push-to-talk communication, and determines whether the second handset is available. If the second handset is not available, the voice message component stores a voice communication associated with the request in an audio file identifies a voice mail storage associated with the second handset, and provides the audio file to the voice mail storage. The voice message component also informs the first handset that the second handset is not available and that the voice mail storage stores the voice communication.
