Over All Rating Reviews : 
I purchased a set of these walkie-talkies with the eye towards having an alternate means of contact should the cellphones not work in a disaster scenario. What is NOT mentioned in the product review is that a federal FCC license for GMRS walkie-talkies is REQUIRED, and that said license cost EIGHTY FIVE ($85) DOLLARS! You also need an FCC call sign - issued at the time you pay the license fee - that you MUST use every time you transmit on the radio. Otherwise you have only the use of a few channels that can be accessed by a cheap $10 pair of walkie-talkies. Trying to use these radios without the FCC license is playing with fire - the fine is in the thousands of dollars and you are very easy to find.
For someone who intends to use these radios infrequently if ever - just as a second option in an emergency - paying $85 is simply absurd, and Amazon should INFORM prospective buyers of the fee and license requirements to use even half of the available frequencies.
