How do you join the waitlist and is the idea that if someone removes them from there basket they become available to you?.

A few complaints about knobs falling off and poor reception.

roger dodger :sunglasses:

This was highlighted in the reviews. Maybe it's linked to cold weather conditions.

Also, cheaper to activate 2 giffgaff sims, put in a 99p phone, and enjoy 3 months of free calls and texts between them! It will be clearer and the range will be like 800 miles (if one of you is in lands end, the other in John o groats!)

Useful for when out in the country, or skiing, but you'll only never get near the range even with line of sight, any buildings will reduce the range considerably. When I was skiing once I estimated I got well over a mile, but that was line of sight(one user at top of mountain, the other at the bottom. Once I went behind one single building all contact was lost! Forget it too if there's a valley or rocks in the way!

Joined the waitlist and 10 min later got the deal. Thanks OP

These make great toys for kids.

Great if you can't afford a mobile phone contract and your Mrs wants to know your whereabouts every 5 minutes...

Hi, I'm on the wait list. Can you please tell me how do I know if I'm successful on the wait list? Thanks

Programmable (with lead) to UK frequencies, great battery life, covers about 5 miles over reasonably flat terrain...

All gone :disappointed:

This is Clem Fandango here
Can you hear me?

Thanks OP was after a two-way radio, bagged one in time

These are still available...may be for who joined waiting list...

Price gone back up now so deal is over.

I have the 950 version which is the previous 2 models to thus version, they are good for 2 miles easy out in mid wales, had 3 miles max, they do for what i need so no complaints, each unit takes 4 x AAA batteries, i replaced the supplied 600mah batteries for 1000mah duracell rechargables to give a good 4-5 days run time, not that there is anything wrong with the supplied batteries, even they will last 2-3 days run time.

Good solid build, happy with mine.

Just ordered... Kids will love them. Thank you

Got a pair for holidays, good for up to about 3km or so in the French countryside, not so good at home in built up area more like 1km or so max.

So in summary, good for the kids to play with or for shoet range coms but let down by poor design

I've got a pair, these have never seen 6 miles. Possible 1 mile max.

Ordered for keeping track of the kids while skiing. Good price!

Apparently these are good for up to 6 miles.

Do they make that static buzz like the ones cops and military use? Would love to walk around freaking people out with it :man:

yeah they're v.good for the price.
