I just downloaded voxer walkie talkie and heytell.
I signed in through facebook so if one of my friends on facebook signs on heytell or voxer using facebook they should see me as a contact.
Try calling me on heytel, cp. or voxer.

AND--- NYTimes approved!!!!
And I wonder how many people know that "VOX" stands for "Voice Operated Relay" or "Voice Operated Communications / Transmissions".

It's way better than texting because....
A) you can "heytell" while driving just by "push to talk" without typing or looking at your phone
2) since it's VOICE, you have all the "tone of voice" stuff so you can tell if you're kidding, or whatever
It also has a map function, so I'll heytell her, with "map on", telling her "I'm on the way home", and she can see my position on the map.
It's pretty neat for "oh, can you pick up a dozen eggs on the way home" --- or short messages that don't need to be a whole conversation.
Like, when you're driving -- you can heytell something while stopped at a traffic light without "being on the phone" in rush hour or heavy traffic.
It's just really convenient.
(And, I STILL like to talk to her on the phone - I have ALWAYS loved her telephone voice! )

Yeah, fortunately, it lets you know you have a message, but won't automatically play it until you open the app.

BTW I can see the heytell app being just a bit inconvenient or embarrassing if you are somewhere on business and you get someone chatting to you out of the blue.

My worst one (and I was trying to find it) was when I texted my Police Captain telling him "I will double check for you", and Siri typed "I double love you" ----- and I didn't look at it til FOUR HOURS LATER!!!!!
