TiKL is a free app available for smart devices such as Android phones that allows your phone to function like a walkie talkie with push-to-talk technology. The application adds a button to contacts in your phone list or Facebook friends which can initiate one-on-one or group voice sessions. You can also use TiKL for chat or text messaging sessions with your contacts.
While TiKL is compatible with a variety of Android devices and the iPhone, there is no version available for BlackBerry phones, despite the fact that BlackBerry devices are capable of using apps. Therefore, anyone in your network who uses a BlackBerry will be excluded from conversations using TiKL. However, if you're using Android or an iOS device, you can use TiKL across devices and carriers.
While TiKL does not work between Android and BlackBerry devices, you may consider the app Loudtalks. Loudtalks is compatible with the BlackBerry OS as well as Android and PCs with the Windows operating system. As of the time of publication, Loudtalks is the only cross-operating system compatible push-to-talk app. In the future, you may also be able to use the app TalkBox, which is currently only available for Android and iPhone, on your BlackBerry.
Push-to-talk solutions like TiKL that offer texting, voice and other communications that may not require minutes or text messaging units on your plan. However, they do use data, whether that is network data from your cellular provider or data from a local wireless area connection or WLAN. If you do not have unlimited data, you should track your usage with TiKL or other Internet-enabled apps.
