Zello

[Joe]

Has anyone tried the Zello app ?
Zello is an easy to install app that effectively turns your phone into a walkie talkie. It’s very easy to use and you can either contact an individual directly or talk on a group. You also have the option of sending text messages or location information.
I have it my phone and just leave it running in the background, if you set your status to busy you only get a bleep if someone talks or sends a message.
Over in the US it’s very popular for disaster/ storm comms etc.
The good thing is you don’t give your phone number or info to anyone, you just select the user name or group.
Have a look on You Tube, there is some excellent instruction vids.
