Totally Agree Has all the blows and whistles. I was so totally impressed until this was said ?? Upgrade firmware and make it make calls Motorola !!!! However I love this radio way too much I think it looks beautiful and love how it operates.
@@Satlec Most like reason for that is to make this device considered as radio not telephone. In my location You cannot use telephone on duty while driving / operating industrial devices but You are allowed to use radio! That’s my assumption.
They should maybe make an option to have or not on the device imagine corporate companies can let there uses have email, calling , PTT talking radios, scanning barcodes scaning, identity cards scanning, NFC Tag reader, live video streaming from device, talk to analog and dmr radios, has wifi and Bluetooth, tracking of radio. It would be a monster of a device to sell to security industry.
You CAN use it as a telephone. I do it every day. Add Google Voice and it works fine.
Did you port your number?
can you reprogram the PTT button to 3rd party apps such as zello or other Voip PTT apps?
Can we use it to make a normal phone call as well? SIP or PSTN? and can u add a SIM card to it too?
Why Motorola decided not to include ability to make phone call with Ion? What is the strategic motivation behind that choice?
