Choose from three different privacy levels to control how users can contact you without an invite:

Low Privacy: Anyone who knows your contact information can connect with you without an invite.

Medium Privacy: Anyone who knows your contact information and is friends with one of your HeyTell friends can connect with you. Otherwise, they must invite you to connect.

High Privacy: No one can connect with you until you accept their invitation.

NOTE: Carriers may charge you & your recipient for SMS invites, but email invites & Low privacy direct connections should be free.

If you want to, share your location with selected contacts while you talk

TIP: To send your location information to a contact, you must have the Maps page open (tap the Target button) when you send the HeyTell message. For privacy reasons, HeyTell does not send your location unless you approve and have Maps open.

TIP: Swipe left or right on the conversation and click the DELETE button to delete messages.

All data and audio you transmit to HeyTell and your friends is encrypted in transit

You do not need to share personal information to connect with HeyTell contacts. See http://heytell.com/privacy and http://heytell.com/faq for more information about connecting without sharing phone numbers or email addresses!

Use HeyTell as a walkie talkie, intercom, or instant voice messaging system to send quick voice messages to friends and family with iPhones or iPods. Use the integrated geolocation feature to find your friends when they've given you bad directions and you're just around the corner!

TIP: IF YOU GET AN "INBOX FULL" message, there's no need to delete the app or messages: This just means that your friend has to listen or reply to the messages you sent before you can continue to send them messages. Once they listen or respond, you can keep on talking!

What's New in Version 3.0.3

3.0.3:

Fixed an issue where, if you have many messages and return from a locked screen, the Hold & Speak button did not stay pressed for more than a few seconds.

3.0.2:

Adds an audible notification when the 30 second per-message limit is reached.

Fixes an issue where, in some cases, a new message would not arrive until the app is re-opened.

3.0.1:

Fixes an issue where, if you had many messages in a single conversation, playback could be choppy and the Play button could be slow.

Improved performance of incoming message notifications when the app is open.

3.0:

* You can now optionally sign onto Twitter or Facebook to easily connect to HeyTell friends:

- Low privacy: All Facebook friends can HeyTell you. Any of your Twitter followers can HeyTell you. Anyone who knows your phone number or email address can HeyTell you.

- Medium privacy: All Facebook friends can HeyTell you. All Twitter friends can talk to you. Friends of your HeyTell friends who know your phone number or email address can HeyTell you.

- High privacy: No one can contact you unless you contact them first or unless you accept their Twitter, Facebook, email, or SMS invite.

* Redesigned Profile page:

- You can now see exactly which contact info is shared and how friends can contact you. HeyTell does not collect your social network friends list on its systems--they appear in your app only. HeyTell does save your Twitter or Facebook handle so that friends can find you if you use Low or Medium privacy. If you use High privacy, HeyTell does not permanently store any social network handles, email addresses, or phone numbers.

- You no longer need to select an Address Book contact to change your name - just tap your name on the Profile page to update!

* Added Polish translation - many, many thanks to Pawel Masarczyk for contributing the translation!

* Your HeyTell Friends list (tap the green and white Select a Contact button or tap inside the To: field) now lists friends in two categories: Active Recently and Not Active Recently so that you can more quickly select your contacts with a bit less scrolling!

* Your identity now has a green circled star icon so that you know you're talking to yourself! (Not such a bad thing, you can then post your notes to self to Twitter and Facebook via Actions > Share Online!)

I enjoy using hey tell. It's great for fast communication between a number of people without pushing too many buttons.
It also sounds clearer then my regular phone conversation on my iPhone.

Idol night ! (4 stars)
Love it!!! It's so much fun on idol night to be an at home judge with all the friends!

Really enjoy it (5 stars)
My daughter introduced me to it 2 weeks ago and I use a lot to communicate with her. I specifically enjoy the voice modulation feature, it makes the communication exchange a lot of fun. Please see if you can add more choice for the voices. Thanks
