TappyCallThe walkie-talkie without a licence
In India, radio walkie-talkies come with rules: WPC-approved handsets, restricted frequencies, and for most business use, a licence. A push-to-talk app needs none of that — because it is not a radio.
Why radio handsets involve licences
Radio walkie-talkies transmit on airwaves, and airwaves in India are regulated by the WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination Wing). Handsets must be type-approved, only certain low-power sets are licence-free, and the ranges businesses actually want typically require licensed frequencies — with paperwork, fees and renewals.
Why an app needs none of this
TappyCall sends voice over the internet — Wi-Fi or mobile data — exactly like WhatsApp does. Your SIM's data connection is already licensed by your telecom operator. There is no radio transmitter, no restricted frequency, no set to get approved, and nothing for your business to license.
What you trade, honestly
A radio handset works with no network at all; an app needs a data connection. In return you get unlimited range, end-to-end encryption, no hardware to buy or charge, groups you can change in a minute, and an emergency broadcast that reaches every phone. For most businesses inside network coverage, that is a good trade.
What TappyCall costs instead
No handsets, no licence fees — a simple per-seat subscription in ₹, with a 14-day free trial and no card needed to start. The phones your team already carries are the hardware.
