    Got these for the kids to play around with. They work fine in close proximity if you live in the city. I am not sure if they would cover half the distance shown on the packaging if you are out in the country. I couldn't say they definitely would or wouldn't because we did try it yet.

    Bought these three walkie talkies for a three car 8 day driving trip across country. Day two, one breaks and we lost communications for the rest of the trip. Worst experience as we were travelling with relatively new drivers.

    Wilkie Talkie Cobra Soho series claims to offer a 25 mile range. It does not work one mile away from each other. A complete failure during hurricane Irma.

    The Walkie talkies did not work more than 100 feet away. In the city or a clear field, the Walkie talkies did not work. They were supposed to be for 24 miles. This is a waste of money.
