F.A.Q. X-TALK

X-TALK is an application developed by CROSSCALL to facilitate your communications in action by transforming your smartphone into a walkie-talkie without any distance limit.

The application is compatible with all Android terminals (Version 6 minimum required).

It requires a WiFi, 3G or 4G connection to work.

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS

X-TALK is very simple:

  1. You choose your avatar and your nickname
  2. You create a talk by clicking on the + button
  3. You invite participants by sending a link or displaying a QR Code
  4. You exchange voice messages and share your positions within the talk

The application is compatible and can be used on all Android terminals (Version 6 or higher required). In the free version, only owners of Crosscall smartphones can create talks and invite other people.

Talks in X-TALK are now persistent. You can leave a talk and return to it whenever you want. The name of the talk and the participants are kept in memory by the application.

From the talk screen, you can select the audio output used by the application between :

  • Rear speaker
  • Front speaker
  • Wired headset
  • Bluetooth device

You can also use the Silent mode, so that you can no longer hear the participants without leaving the talk.

In the free version of the application, you can have up to 5 participants in a talk.

It is possible to use one of your programmable buttons to use X-TALK.

There are two steps to take for this to work:

  1. In the X-TALK application, go to the menu and select "Configure PTT button"
  2. In your phone settings, go to the "Buttons" settings and associate the long press of the selected button with the X-TALK application.

Yes. The application continues to work when it is in the background. You will hear messages from participants even when the application is no longer on the screen. On latest Crosscall terminals, you can talk using the soft buttons without having the application on the screen.

Your location is only collected when you decide to send it and is only shared with members of your talk. X-TALK does not store or use your location data. Your location is only collected when you decide to share it with the participants of your talk.

The application is free. However, non-Crosscall smartphones have some limitations as mentioned above. A paid version will be available in the coming months.

X-TALK uses the wifi or 3G/4G networks of your mobile phone package.
There is no distance limit to communicate with other people.
