wasn't it NEXTEL that had a phone to phone direct connect system back in the 2006 timeframe?????

 

In my professional life at the time their use was driving me crazy - as we had security issues to contend with.

 

I believe their system still went through cell towers, but it was a Push-to-Talk system.  I remember people using it who were far enough away from each other (as in many miles), that a direct phone to phone would not have worked.
