HeyTell :: Add Nextel©-like Walkie Talkie to Your Phone, For Free!



A friend introduced me to HeyTell this weekend.  You download it, and syncs with your contacts in your phone, allowing you to press the orange button and use your phone like a new-school walkie-talkie.  It's worth it for two reasons:  (1) if you talk to the same people frequently for short times (organizing stuff with your friends, quick questions for co-workers, hate texting etc) and (2) instead of texting while driving.

If your friends don't have it yet, your phone will send them a text the first time you try to "HeyTell" with them and a link where they can download it. The voices come through clear, and over speakerphone (so be careful as to who is around you) IF you have the application open.  If not, it pops up as like a text message alert and you can open it whenever and hear the voice. 

I think it's solid for a free app.
