Zello is an analog walkie-talkie software developed by Zello Inc. Of course, its operation also requires a mobile network. With this app, it turns your phone or tablet into a walkie-talkie. Turning your phone into a walkie-talkie seems like a cool thing to do, and you can make calls anytime, anywhere. In addition, easy to use, great interface, well built, good rules, abundance of personalization settings, etc., can all be used to describe the software.
Here, I want to popularize a knowledge point to everyone. The mobile phone walkie-talkie is often called PTT (push to talk), and most of the PTT software supports cross-operator and cross-system platforms to send text, pictures, and voice information in various forms. Its biggest feature is that the mobile phone can be used to talk with one button like a walkie-talkie. During mobile phone intercom, the calling party can initiate a call to a person or a group of people by pressing a key, and the call is connected immediately without dialing or picking up the other party. Unlike walkie-talkies that can only talk at close range, PTT can reach anywhere covered by the mobile phone network, with almost no distance limit.
Of course, everything has two sides. While Zello shows great advantages, its disadvantages are also obvious. That is, people have criticized it a lot, such as being unable to use it when there is no signal, and even being blocked due to lack of certain registration information. However, it is undeniable that Zello PTT Walkie Talkie has opened up a new era of instant messaging and opened up a new way of communication.
On iOS App Store, the rating of Zello is 4.6 out of 5.0, with26,000 user reviews. On Google Play, its rating is 4.3 out of 5.0, with791, 000 user reviews and more than 100,000,000 installs. Based on the above data, we can find that this app has relatively high scores and ranks high in App Store. Of course, if you want to try a new way of communication, then Zello is indeed a good recommendation in my opinion.
In the latest version update, in addition to some basic bug fixes, the application has also optimized its performance to better serve users.
Although there are many popular PTT software, Zello seems to stand out from them. Its biggest advantage is that the tariff is cheaper than calling. Although the download and use of the software is completely free, we still need to pay the data traffic fee to the network operator. The size of a one-minute recording file on a mobile phone is about 40kb. By comparison, using PTT software to talk is much cheaper than normal calls.
