What is the name of these super-powered two way radios thingers for kids?
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!

do you mean walkie talkies, ohh like in 2005 a ”phone now ” came out you could talk up to like 20 miles away or is it 10, idk it probably costs like 30 bucks or sumthing
Well, aren’t they called walkie talkies?? I thought they were. And usually, they are quite cheap. Maybe th only charges you would have to considr are of course the upfront charge, battery charger price, and the cost of maintaining the gadgt itslf. Hope tis helps/
