Russia

 * Russia is currently selling phones with Zello - so presumably is not blocked in Russia? 2A00:23C4:E987:5001:2878:375F:305A:888D (talk) 21:18, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Well Zello is definitely blocked in Russia. I guess what I saw must have meant that it is Zello Ready or Enabled. 2A00:23C4:E987:5001:2878:375F:305A:888D (talk) 21:43, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Use in terrorism
In February 2018, User:Bjursele added the following to the page:

"Unfortunately, the app is also used by terror organizations around the world when giving orders about terror attacks. This is due to the fact that it's very difficult to decode and trace these messages. Rakhmat Akilov used it during the Stockholm attack the 7th of April 2017 when five people were killed and around 150 directly or indirectly hurt, physically or psychologically. Zello was also used by Salman Abedi who killed 22 people, among whom we find many children, during a concert with the artist Arian Grande in Manchester the 22nd of May 2017. The utilisation of this app among terror groups is described in the book "ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror" from 2015 written by the security experts Hassan Hassan och Michael Weiss."

Later corrected to:

Unfortunately the content remained uncited so removed from the page and move to the talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sulfonik (talk • contribs) 16:24, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Does it use mobile networks or internet.
This article doesn’t really say anything about how this works and functionality. Motorola phones always had push-talk but that also means potentially “push-to-listen”. So your boss always knew if you were avoiding the calls. and probably why US business circumvented the the requirement for hands free talking while driving for decades because it these devices could considered a “walkie talkie” rather than a “phone” 31.53.18.214 (talk) 21:15, 25 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Also noticed that the app keeps sending location info even with the app closed. 2A00:23C4:E987:5001:2878:375F:305A:888D (talk) 21:46, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
