Does anybody have experience with FRS 2-Way radios?
Do the FRS type actually get a full 2 mile range?
I was looking into getting the 2-way service on a cell phone I was going to purchase but for the cost and usage, it may just be cheaper to buy a good pair of 2-way radios.
I'm one of those people that still don't own a cell phone. My buddy and his wife use the 2-way radio feature on their cell phones and I really like "instant" communication that they have.
Most likely the 2-way radios would be used on road trips (communication between cars), staying in touch with our kids when they're in the neighborhood and possibly even keeping in contact with my wife at work (we work in different buildings but on the same city block).
Can anyone help educate me a little more on the pros/cons of buying a pair of 2-Way radios instead of getting a cell phone with that feature installed?
I appreciate any help.
