We use Zello to communicate with various emergency teams on a 105 acre campus. It's easy, efficient and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don't have to carry separate radio besides phone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hard to know which PTT hardware for my phone that works. Zello hardware list on website isn't up-to-date. There is a 1 sentence time lag using 3rd party hardware to integrate with existing old style radio network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Benefits of this app that you could use Zello with really low signal and for sure the best thing, that you could use it even on 2G. Because I said the main problem, that without Wi-Fi this app doesn't make any sense, but low signal is an advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That zello won't work without Wi-Fi , so once it's gone, you can't use the app properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for your review! We would like to add that Zello can work with both WiFi and cellular data - virtually anywhere in the world.
I liked that we could use it for events in our team store, students would download the app and be connected to all of the mangers so whoever was available would be able to respond to their question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't work without mobile connection, ie in an emergency situation I don't think this would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Zello is a great communication method that takes you back to your childhood. Pretend you are walkie-talkie-ing your neighborhood pal across the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some settings are challenging to figure out. Zello will come loud out of your phone at anytime if you don't learn how to silence it when in meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
