SmartyPants asked:


When traveling out of the country, it’s too expensive to use your cell phone. We are considering buying two way radios to have contact with one another if we decide to split up but I dont really understand the concept. Can they be used out of the country? Do you need to have them connected (like a cell phone) in order to use them? Do they simply work like the walkie-talkies we had as children or is it more complicated? If we are traveling with 6 people, can each person have a radio and we all be able to communicate or do they only come in 2’s? I only see them sold in 2’s but I need 6 of them and i need them to be on the same ‘network’. Is this possible? What about the range? I am traveling to a resort in Dominican Republic.

I have these walkie talkies at the moment, and I am looking to buy another set from a high street store (united kingdom), preferably argos, does anyone know any other walkie talkies which will work alongside the ones i currently have?

The ones I currently have are Binatone MR600’s: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Binatone-MR600-2…

Thanks in advance.

What is the purpose of the mon feature on two-way radios, and walkie-talkies what does it do and what does it stand for?

Zane asked:


I know I’m not crazy, I have a couple of friends who remember them too. They were these “walkie talkies” or “kids cell phones” that were advertised maybe two years ago that worked like a two way radio in the since that you could only talk to the person who had the other phone-type thing that came in packages of two. You didn’t need minutes and they could reach across town if need be, the same reception as a cell phone, but works as a two way radio. I need help finding these! And please keep in mind I’m not thinking of the walkie talkie phones brought out recently by bigger cell phone companies, those have pricey plans. I remember the commercial said that you’d never have to buy a plan or never have to buy minutes, that it was a one time cost when you bought the things so kids could talk to the friend that you gave the other phone too. Please, if you have any information, leave it here. Thank you for your time!

i.amahorror asked:


I’m supposed to look up and find the best possible model of two-way radios (or walkie talkies if you will) for drama/theatre use. Does anybody have recommendations? They need to be able to penetrate concrete walls, durable (as in “won’t blow up if somebody bumps it, and it falls crashing to the floor repeatedly”) and relatively inexpensive.

Anything?

The Smuggler asked:


I would like to know what advice you would have for me regarding two way radios (walkie talkies) to use while fishing and camping in the bush.

What kind of distance can I expect to get in thick woods and rocky hills and valleys in the Wilderness.

What are your experiences with various radios in the wilderness, and how much did you pay for the pair (indicate US/Canadian Dollars, or whatever else)

Alan asked:


I just got a pair of these walkie talkies and there is no manual. How do I get them to “talk” to each other?
