Created by Motorola, Mike is based on the iDEN wireless technology that combines the capabilities of a digital cellular telephone, two-way radio, alphanumeric pager, and data/fax modem in a single network. Mike has been and continues to be the leading technology in the Push-to-talk (PTT) space with unparalleled features and benefits:

• With Mike's Direct Connect ( two-way radio), you can reach your Mike contacts and over 16 million U.S.-based users across Canada and the United States - all at the simple push of a button, eliminating the delays and frustration of voice mail and games of telephone tag. It's also all-digital which means crystal clear conversations and secure calls, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional cellular.
• Mike's Direct Connect allows clients to communicate with one other person or a whole team of workers simultaneously
• Mike's Direct Connect provides the most efficient and cost-effective wireless communications due to per-second billing, unlimited use packages & extended local calling areas.
• Mike's Direct Connect push-to-talk feature is built into every TELUS Mobility Mike handset, giving you increased productivity, cost savings & instant communication
• Thanks to an exclusive roaming relationship with Nextel, the only iDEN provider in the United States, a TELUS Mobility Mike can be used in the U.S. at the same rates, billed by the second, in Canadian dollars.

 Mike phones have the latest technology including:

• High quality lithium ion batteries for long talk and standby time
• Built in speaker for Private and Group calling
• Intuitive menu driven navigation
• Integrated GPS for running various applications
• Java 2 functionality allows users to run small software applications on their handset – perfect for many application dependent businesses.

In addition to the Mike technology is its Phonebook Manager software application that allows you to create, edit and copy the phone’s phonebook list from your computer to your phone. It provides you the ability to modify call lists and copy contact list to multiple phones with ease.
