With a range of up to 18 miles, the T8500R is guaranteed to not drop a call, charge you roaming or be out of cell range. And with a choice of a drop-in charger or battery power, you never need an electrical outlet to keep in touch.

Oops. There’s a difference between Family Radio Service (FRS) and GMRS. You do have to buy a license for the latter.
Yes. The channels 8 to 14 are in the FRS service and you can use them with out a license though. You do need to get a GMRS license from the FCC to use all the features and higher power those units provide. There is only one license needed for a family so you don’t need one for every one in your house hold.
Yes, a license is required to use GMRS frequencies.
