Push-to-Talk — Reimagined for the Modern World

FunnelPhone delivers everything you'd expect from a world-class walkie-talkie platform — and then goes further.

No hassle.

No App Required — Works Instantly in Any Browser
FunnelPhone Exclusive Features — What makes us different

Zero App Install Required FunnelPhone Only

Open your browser, join a room, and talk. No App Store, no Play Store, no apk. Works on any modern smartphone, tablet, or desktop — iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux.

End-to-End Audio Encryption FunnelPhone Only

AES-128-CTR and AES-256-GCM in-browser encryption. Set a room passphrase and all audio is scrambled before it ever leaves your device. The server never sees your plaintext audio.

Built-In SDR Radio Control FunnelPhone Only

Full software-defined radio panel with spectrum display, frequency tuning, Ham band presets, Marine VHF channels, CB channels, FRS/GMRS channels, and SDR hardware integration.

Animated Walkie-Talkie Skins FunnelPhone Only

Choose from a library of animated radio skins that glow and pulse when you transmit. Click the walkie-talkie image to talk — makes PTT intuitive and fun.

VOX / Auto-Transmit Mode FunnelPhone Only

Hands-free operation: configurable voice-operated transmit with adjustable threshold, attack time, hold time, and a live level meter so you can dial it in exactly.

Morse Code Keyer & Trainer FunnelPhone Only

A full Morse code key (dit/dah buttons), real-time decode display, adjustable WPM speed, practice mode, and a complete clickable NATO phonetic alphabet reference.

Live Repeater Finder FunnelPhone Only

Search thousands of licensed amateur repeaters by GPS, ZIP code, town, state, band, and radius. Plot results on an interactive map. One-click tune to repeater details.

QSO Log & Callsign Lookup FunnelPhone Only

Log contacts (callsign, frequency, band, mode, RST) with cloud sync when signed in. Instant callsign lookup with name, location, and license class from public databases.

Integrated Contacts & Offline Inbox FunnelPhone Only

Save contacts, send voice notes, text messages, and tasks directly to individuals. Messages and audio queue in an offline inbox — delivered even when the recipient isn't in a room.

Built-In 2-Way Video Calling FunnelPhone Only

One click from the PTT screen launches a WebRTC video call with any room participant. No third-party app, no account required — everything stays within FunnelPhone.

Live Channel Text Chat FunnelPhone Only

Type messages to everyone in your room, inline on the same screen as PTT. Unread badge alerts you to messages received while transmitting.

Integrated Mapping & Overlays FunnelPhone Only

Interactive Leaflet map with ITU zones, CQ zones, satellite imagery overlay, and GPS location. Plot repeaters and stations with one tap.

Safe Mode Audio Relay FunnelPhone Only

When WebRTC is blocked by corporate firewalls or VPNs, FunnelPhone automatically falls back to a server-side encrypted WAV relay — keeping audio flowing no matter what.

Hardware PTT Device Support FunnelPhone Only

Pair Bluetooth buttons, USB foot switches, Kenwood, Motorola, Inrico PoC radios, rugged Android devices, gamepads, Stream Deck keys, and AirPods inline buttons.

No Signup to Join a Room FunnelPhone Only

Enter a room code, pick a display name, hit Join. Zero account creation required to start talking. Sign up only if you want to save contacts or sync the QSO log.

Task & Message Dispatch FunnelPhone Only

Send structured tasks to individual contacts, track completion, and retract tasks. Fully integrated with the voice-note and text messaging inbox — one unified workflow.

Core Walkie-Talkie Features — Everything you'd expect from a top-tier PTT platform

Real-Time Push-to-Talk Voice

Hold PTT, talk, release. Crystal-clear real-time voice streaming over any Wi-Fi or cellular connection. WebRTC peer-to-peer keeps latency low.

Worldwide Range

Talk to anyone, anywhere — same building or opposite side of the planet. No distance limit as long as both parties have internet.

Multi-User Group Channels

Multiple people in the same room hear everyone. Peer list shows who is connected and a live speaking indicator shows who is currently transmitting.

Email & SMS Invite

Invite contacts to your room instantly via email or SMS with a one-click join link. No account needed on the receiving end — just click and talk.

Bluetooth & Headset Support

Works with Bluetooth headsets, wired earpieces, and speaker mics for hands-free operation in the field, vehicle, or warehouse.

Google & Microsoft Sign-In

One-click authentication via Google or Microsoft account. No separate password to remember — your existing identity, instantly trusted.

Shareable Room Links

Generate a one-click join URL for any room. Share it by text, email, Slack, or QR code. Links expire after 24 hours for security.

Live Mic Level Meter

Visual feedback during transmission shows your microphone input level in real time — confirm your mic is working before you key up.
