Zello requires WiFi or cell service. In other words, if you can't use your phone already, Zello isn't going to help you.


Govts did not like them (and may cell providers) but for emergencies with wide spread power outages and in dense enough populations to form a network I am surprised more apps like the discontinued Firechat haven’t become widespread even just to be turned on only as a backup in situations like this. Briar & Bridgefy i guess are still around, but most talk is to avoid govt or about security issues with communications along with man in middle issues. With an emergency It’s to get information or message family not to plot revolution or access my bank or investment account.

Pied Piper freaked it all up I guess.

Requires wifi and cell phone. If you have both it works well.

It's good to have and it needs minimal data to use. But it still needs internet to work. Even though people are saying otherwise on Facebook.

The push to talk feature for Zello does have it's place. You can join a 'channel for your area and in the event of serious shite hitting the fan you can send an sos message and your gps location to the entire channel. So you could hit the button and reach dozens of people instantly with "Hey MFers' we're about to drown" and they could respond.


I see. I remember when Nextel, Southern LINC, etc. were trying to do this. They probably still sell that stuff.

If everyone would have just gotten the jab we wouldn’t have to worry about using Zello.
