A voice activated method of establishing a Push-to-Talk (PIT) connection from a mobile phone is disclosed. The mobile phone user presses and holds a PTT key on the mobile phone (220). The user then speaks the name of a contact (230). The mobile phone recognizes the name of a contact that has been spoken (240) and associates the recognized name with an entry in the mobile phone"s memory (245). The mobile phone then displays the name of the contact on its display (250). The user can then speak additional contact names (260) or can release the PTT key. Upon release of the PTT key (270), the mobile phone initiates a PTT connection (280) from the mobile phone to the contact(s) displayed. The mobile phone uses PTT contact data in the mobile phone"s memory associated with the contact name to make the PTT connection.
