Product Description
With a range of up to 18 miles, the T8550R Camo is guaranteed to not drop a call, charge you roaming or be out of signal range. And with a choice of a drop-in charger or battery power, you never need an electrical outlet to keep in touch.

The T8550R Camo has you covered with 2,662 channel and code combinations provided by a full 22-channel capacity and 121 privacy codes. The VibraCall silent vibrating ringer is ideal at the racetrack or a football game where you would not be able to hear a ringer. The T8550R Camo has a Motorola exclusive feature called "companding". This sophisticated technology filters out the static between words, allowing the radio to deliver noticeably clearer transmissions. iVOX hands-free communication allows you to have your hands full and still answer an incoming call.

Comments on do walkie talkies (2 way radios) work in countries other then the U.S? »
Yes if they are FRS (family radio service) than they use their own frequencies and can be used anywhere (including the north pole!)
ya just have to be in the distance required for it to work
In most countries yes as long as you have the right frequency.
what a silly question of course they do,do you relly think the us is somehow different or special to the rest of the world,if you do i have one thing to say STOP DREAMING
Yes, you don’t need a service provider for walkie talkies. It transmits a signal and receives them, as long as they are on the same channel.
Yes they will, however one thing that you will want to check is if the frequencies that the 2 ways run on is allowed in a particular country. Some countries will make it illegal to run products on certain radio frequencies since that they probably run state use products on those frequencies. I would recommend that you contact a tourism department and try to find out what, if any, frequencies are banned.
Yes they will work, but like said you need to know the countries regulations on freqs.
So do you mean MW as in Microwave, and SW as in Shortwave these are frequency ranges and are not modulation types as FM and AM are. Just curious if you can expound on what you mean.
