Professional Push-to-Talk App

Walkie Talkie App that Connects to Real Radios
for iPhone and Android

Connect Your Phone to a Real Two-Way Radio System

If you're searching for a way to connect your phone to a walkie talkie, RadioPro Talk provides a true solution. Unlike basic apps, it integrates directly with your existing radio infrastructure.

Use Your Phone Like a Real Walkie Talkie

RadioPro Talk turns your smartphone into a 2-way radio, allowing real-time communication with your radio system.

How Does It Work?

RadioPro Talk connects through a gateway installed on your radio network. This allows your smartphone to communicate with real two-way radios just like another radio on the system.

With support for private calls, channel steering, GPS tracking, and messaging, it delivers full radio system functionality—not just voice chat.

Who Is It For?

• Organizations with staff who travel or work remotely
• Supervisors or managers needing occasional radio access
• Facilities needing flexible or temporary communication solutions

Can You Use Your Phone as a Walkie-Talkie?

Yes — with a radio-over-IP gateway, an iPhone or Android phone can transmit directly on a real Motorola or Kenwood two-way radio system. The RadioPro Talk app provides push-to-talk over Wi-Fi, LTE, or 5G, and a RadioPro IP Gateway on the radio system makes the phone behave like another portable radio on the channel: workers carrying handhelds hear the phone, and the phone hears them.

That is the difference between this and phone-to-phone apps. A typical consumer app only reaches other people running the same app. RadioPro Talk joins the land mobile radio (LMR) system your team already operates — the same approach is sometimes searched for as a radio phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect my phone to a real walkie talkie?

Yes. RadioPro Talk connects smartphones directly to real radios like Motorola MOTOTRBO™ and Kenwood NEXEDGE® using a RadioPro IP Gateway installed on the radio system. Radio users hear the phone like any other radio on the channel.

Is there a walkie-talkie app for iPhone?

Yes. RadioPro Talk for iPhone and iPad is available on the App Store and connects to real Motorola and Kenwood two-way radio systems — not just other phones. It supports push-to-talk over Wi-Fi, LTE, or 5G, plus GPS, text messaging, and private and group calls.

How do you connect a walkie-talkie to a phone?

The connection is made at the radio system, not the handheld: a control station radio connects to a RadioPro IP Gateway, which puts that radio channel on your IP network. The RadioPro Talk app on a phone then joins that channel over Wi-Fi or cellular and communicates with every radio on it.

Is there a free walkie talkie app for iPhone and Android?

Yes. RadioPro Talk is available on both the App Store and Google Play with free download options.

What radios are compatible with RadioPro Talk?

Motorola MOTOTRBO™ two-way radio systems — including Analog, Conventional Digital, Capacity Plus, IP Site Connect, Linked Capacity Plus, Connect Plus, and Capacity Max — and Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital systems, connected through a RadioPro IP Gateway.

What do professionals call a walkie-talkie?

In commercial and public-safety radio, the device most people call a walkie-talkie is called a portable radio, handheld, two-way radio, or subscriber unit. The professional category is land mobile radio (LMR), and phone apps that join those systems are called push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) clients. RadioPro Talk is built for those professional systems — "walkie talkie app" is simply the phrase most people search for.

Do walkie-talkie apps work outside radio coverage?

Yes — that is one of the main reasons organizations add an app to a radio system. RadioPro Talk uses Wi-Fi, LTE, or 5G instead of the radio's RF signal, so a traveling supervisor or remote worker can stay on the radio channel from anywhere with a data connection.
