You are supposed to use the walkie talkie function on your blackberry for that. Use the
right technology for crying sakes. I'm going to have to route you to detention.

When Nextel first came online in my area (~1997) with their
"Push to Talk" mantra a lot of contractors switched over,
replacing their two-way radios. When their first months
billing hit they went ballistic. Unit-to-unit was included,
one to all was an extra charge. Some of the guys had racked
up bills around $500 between that and their extra phone
minutes.
