Zello push-to-talk enters private beta testing for Windows Phone

Back in January we reported on Zello, a new push button-to-talk walkie-talkie service, was heading to Windows Telephone with a beta sign-upwardly announcement. That follows the June 2022 annunciation that they were looking to even build and app.

Well, today is that day every bit the Zello app is in the Store, but unless you read our article back in January, you can't quite have it even so. That's because the app is at present in individual-beta testing, following their earlier promise of an April timeframe for that programme. And then far, they're keeping to their word (even if the app is a few days late).

From the app description, Zello (which is also on iOS and Android), looks to exist a snappy app:

"Bring together millions of people who use Zello instead of texting. You lot can apply it one-on-ane with a friend, for a live group telephone call with your family or soccer team. The Zello app can even replace two-way radios at work.

Zello is the just place for live open group communication – old school CB Radio style. Create a alive Zello channel for your forum or customers, or savor conversations from across the world."

Unless you lot're WhatsApp or Google, individual betas are commonly the last stage before release. It's a skilful sign, with only a few weeks from this wider testing to general release to the public, and so we're hoping for something by June (fingers crossed). The app is only for Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 devices, so no 7.10 back up.

You can see the app here in the Store, only you won't have permission to download unless you're on the beta list.
