A Quick Guide To Walkie Talkie Codes By Sarah Angela Almaden

Guy with phone Netflix In a time of great expectations and greater technological advances, there is still nothing like a good ol’ walkie talkie.

A walkie talkie is not a toy but a handy device that you can use to communicate with others. It’s like a smartphone but without all the fancy frills and razzle-dazzles. You can use a walkie talkie to talk to your friends about anything from important messages to secret codes. As you know, talking in codes is a way for people to communicate without being understood as well as a timeless art form. People develop their secret codes for their own special reasons.

Do you have a secret code of your own? Well, using a walkie talkie to communicate with others sounds like a cool way to get your message across. It’s very different, maybe even more intimate, depending on who you ask. And the thing about using a walkie talkie though, is that it never goes out of style.

Think of the show Stranger Things and how a walkie talkie is used throughout the series to communicate right away throughout Hawkins. With a walkie talkie, you will never lose contact with your friends and family. Just don’t forget to charge it or change the battery.
