2way communication

[A+ Lawncare]

hello.... does anyone know where i can get a nice 2way communication system to keep in contact w/the labors on the site while i'm there. i am lookng for something more than just the 2way 2mile radius radio talkies..... i'm thinking of something that will also play music but well let you talk to others connected to the system, like G-I-JOES'S radio talkies.... i'de use cell phones, but i don't wanna waste my minutes and ect.....

Is there such thing, if so can ya point me in the rite direction

Idont know how big they are in your neck of the woods..but Nextel There service is becameing alot more resonable on rates and the connection is alot more clear since the merger with sprint..

You're putting the cart before the horse here, aren't you? Or are you just trying to up your post count in a hurry by posting anything that comes to mind?

radio#1 hey man i'm in the back yard, where are you?

#2 damn man, i'm in the front, what do you want.

Ive heard alot of things nextel name is gonna change to sprint and then i also heard that there just gonna stay as 2 diffrent names and nextel was just gonna use the sprint network for phonsrvice but not 2-way

NEXTEL is what you need!

[cjm2783]

If your talking about keeping in contact on the same property, and 2-way walkie talkie will work. They are very small, and are not expensive at all. Like under $50 for an okay pair.


But you won't use them as much as you think. Hardly at all.

yea....i've got a set of 2-way walkie talkies i use to go huning when i do drives.....

how many of ya guys actually a system of the like to talk to your helper on the job?

[PTLlandscapingIL]

Honestly my one guy that if i have to leave to go pivk up stuff he has a cell and we call each other he keeps my crew going when im not there i mena honestly if you need a fleet of nextels you better have 2 lawn crews going and a buld crew and foreman the whole 9 yards

A+ Why don't you just sit in that new truck your daddy is going to buy you and blow the horn, then when they come a runin, just tell them what you want a say.

Radio Shack can help. They have several types of "walkie talkies" on their shelves. Very in-expensive.......unlike the Nextel route.

You'd be better off with a cell phone for a 17 year old kid and a "helper" you don't need nextel
