Ok. Motorcyclists when travelling or touring Malaysia usually
buys from this shop in Sim Lim.
The packaging says 20km but actually its a distance without
obstruction or walls.
In dense populated area, it dont work as well.
And the people might not really know how to handle it.
Some dont even hear people paging them thru the walkie talkie.
Police plain clothes teams sometimes supplement their walkie
talkies with the store bought ones.
The cheaper ones is roughly around $180 a pair, and it should be
Motorola cute cute hand held talkies. It should come with two
charging docks for the pair of walkie talkies and it can take up to
4 AA size batteries. Go for the one with more distance
rating.
But take note you might have problem bringing them back to Sg,
because they are suppose to be export items.
If possible, just buy those phones which you can insert in
prepaid phone sim cards. Make sure all the phones carries in
their directories of each other phone numbers and emergency numbers
of the country you are visiting.
Then when you land in that country you are visiting. Buy
those pre paid sim cards top up to top up the phones.
I think some shops in chinatown sells a basic Nokia phone 1200
at $45/- each phone. Comes with charger that you can use
overseas because its two prong only.
