Walkabout with a Talkabout

Advantages: No Call Charges, Call signal, Scan function
Disadvantages: Price

...I have become so reliant on mobile phones over the last few years that the thought of going somewhere without coverage almost starts a panic. But there is a solution. Over the last few years personal radios, more commonly known as "walkie-talkies", have been quietly improving, much the same as mobile phones. At the top of the current evolutionary tree is the Motorola Talkabout t6222 and it was a pair of these that a group of friends and I took on a recent holiday in the Lake District. In the box that each handset comes in (you have to buy them seperately), you get a handset, manual and belt-clip. the manual can only be described as 'brief', telling you the bare minimum you need to get up and running with precious little detail on anything else.

After the contract was up, I had the option to get a free phone with a further 2 year contract. This I did. Verizon took over PrimCo, so I called them to check the date when I could end this service. 7th April, 2002. Okay, so what promotions did they have. None whatsoever. I asked them if they still wanted my custom as I had been loyal to them. They could do nothing. My husband and I went to our local mall. Cell station had a huge sign. Free phone, free leather case, free car charger, and free ear piece, just for signing a 1 year contract with VoiceStream. I purchased immediately.
