Ways to Use Channels

Channels are unique to Zello. No other app can do what Zello channels can do. You can think of a Zello channel as a hyped-up CB radio channel. It allows you to communicate with other people, up to 300 at a time. People who have Zello installed can add (subscribe to) an unlimited number of existing channels or create their own channels. There is no limit to the number of subscribers allowed per channel. Zello channels can help in coordination, information sharing, or as a social radio platform.

Coordination

A Zello channel is perfect for coordinating large groups of people who are scattered in a wide area. For example, Zello can be used to coordinate groups traveling together, in car rallies, attending weddings, amusement parks, sports events, and even large political rallies. Zello replaces the need for 2-way radios and is ideal for businesses that have employees located in many different areas of the city, state, or world. Companies using Zello and Zello@Work include freight and moving companies, taxi services, delivery services, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, restaurants, and construction companies, to name a few.

Here is a Channel Quick Start Guide

Zello is an alternate means of ENCOMM in emergencies.

Zello is used by the Cajun Navy and many other groups due to ease of use availability.

I highly encourage everyone to install the ZELLO App whether you decide to use it or not.

The app runs in the background and you may never know who you might hear!
