Free Walkie-Talkie app ‘Voxer’ going viral on Androids, iPhones

The viral success of the 'Voxer' walkie-talkie app proves that we still crave the nostalgia of yesterday's communication.

Voxer is almost like sending a text message with your voice; not exactly a walkie-talkie but its many users don't seem to mind. Is Voxer the next WhatsApp?

Free messaging apps for smartphones are nothing new, but Android and iPhone app Voxer brings something new to the table. Voxer is free on both iOS and Android; you just download it and sign up. Contacts already using Voxer will automatically appear in your Voxer friends lists, and you can send messages to any Facebook friends and phone contacts inviting them to get the app.

Once you let go, your voice message is sent. Whoever you're chatting to can also listen to you live whenever you have the walkie-talkie button pressed.

Turn your iPhone or Android into a walkie-talkie with Voxer

Voxer, a relatively new mobile app that lets you turn your iPhone or Android into a walkie-talkie has been gaining traction over the last few days, rocketing in popularity on the App Store and Android Market.

Once downloaded for free, users can synchronise the app with their existing phone’s address book or Facebook friends. There is even an option to listen live to an incoming message.

The app also supports more traditional forms of communication like text messages and picture messaging, along with sending audio clips.

Who knows, maybe audio messaging will replace the humble text message?
