Like most walkie-talkies speech is not as clear as you'd like. So it does not replace a cell phone unless you're in a remote area or need to talk to more than one person at the same time.

I returned them because they did not do what I wanted them for.Thus I did not really give them a try;I will say the return was very easy.

They work well when you are less than a mile away anything over that you lose signal with the other unit.

I took these out to hunt berries with my wife in a fairly flat area and I walked about 1/4 mile away and lost signal. I was able to get them to work but only within about a 500 foot range. I wish I would have tested them early so I could return them

When I received these I began using them so the person I was taking care of could call me when needed if I or someone else was in another room. They have not worked and gets interference and cant be used.

I purchased these so that I could call my children downstairs without yelling. One set did not work at all and I could not return them because I had already through away the package. However, the second set could be used but you couldn’t hear the other person very well. This was attempted at different distance and no change. I was very disappointed because it had so many good reviews.
