Ever thought of turning your android mobile phone into a walkie talkie? There are a few apps available in android market which allows walkie-talkie type voice messaging. If you have tried Whatsapp, then you may have used the voice messaging which sends a short voice message to fellow whatsapp user. Talking about the “walkie-talkie” apps, I found two good apps:
Both the apps have got similar user reviews – 4.2-4.3. Use of these apps is very clear. They use push to talk voice messaging platform.
