A '''walkie-talkie''' (more formally known as a '''handheld transceiver''') is a hand-held, portable, two-way radio] transceiver. Developed during [[World War II]], similar designs were created for other armed forces, and after the war, walkie-talkies spread to public safety and eventually commercial and job site work. Typical walkie-talkies resemble a telephone handset, possibly slightly larger but still a single unit, with an antenna mounted on the top of the unit. Where a phone's earpiece is only loud enough to be heard by the user, a walkie-talkie's built-in speaker can be heard by the user and those in the user's immediate vicinity. Hand-held transceivers may be used to communicate between each other, or to vehicle-mounted or base stations.

In simple terms a '''Walkie Talkie''' is any small, handheld portable transceiver/two-way [[radio]]. These radios can operate on many different bands, including [[CB]], [[FRS]], [[GMRS]], [[Amateur_Radio|HAM]], and more. They may be called by other names such as "handi-talkies" or "pack sets."
