Verizon will now let companies reclaim some of that ease with its new Push To Talk Plus service.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 , Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, and Casio G'zOne Commando 4G LTE will all work with the business service, and the carrier intends to add support for the rugged (and sapphire-screened) Kyocera Brigadier .
Software features built for conference calls give the current speaker priority and let participants drop out and rejoin without interruption. You can learn more about the service at Verizon's website.
