Push 2 Talk is available now on 027 prepaid.

Its $10 monthly in advance, paid from your prepaid balance. You must maintain 1c credit or service will be temporarily suspended.

To activate, txt START to 728 ("P.2.T.").

You will be automatically billed $10 each month thereafter unless you dont have enough balance (service suspends) or you txt STOP to 728 and disable P2T on the handset.

As far as I know, a soft launch is just a another name for a beta test of sorts, (without telling users its a beta).

Its a chance to let the public loose on a service, and if it fails, they have a couple of weeks to fix the problem before they even do a press release.

Smart if you ask me...
