After many, I repeat many, emails claiming I got things wrong. I have paid all applicable fees trying to get my radios operating again to no avail. No offer to reimburse for down time. No offer to get these radios operating again. All I want from this company is to get my radios operating again. If not. Buy back these expensive radios, reimburse me my 80.00 yearly fee that I paid months ago. And the 50.00 dollar fee they charged just to tell me I didn't pay the annual fee. In which I was never, and I repeat never notified of until the radio stopped working. I have answered every email they have sent, and I received, and to claim I didn't get back with them is absolutely bullshit!t.

THEY LIE AND SAY THERE IS NO MONTHY FEE. THATS BECAUSE ITS YEARLY FOR 50 DOLLARS A RADIO. IT COSTS ME 200 DOLLARS A YEAR! THATS ALOT OF BS
Reply from Rapid Radios2026-09-02
We’re sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with the service renewal cost, and we appreciate you sharing your concerns.
To clarify, Rapid Radios does not charge a monthly service fee. The first year of nationwide service is included with the purchase of each radio, and after the included year, continued service is available for $50 per radio, per year. For four radios, that would be $200 annually. Customers who choose to enroll in auto-renewal also receive a discounted renewal rate of $40 per radio, per year.
We understand that an annual renewal cost can be frustrating, and we strive to clearly communicate our service terms throughout the purchasing process. The annual renewal information is disclosed on our website, including on our product pages, FAQ section, and during checkout.
We have requested your contact information in hopes of being able to speak with you directly, answer any questions you may have, and better understand your concerns. We truly appreciate the opportunity to address this with you and hope we can turn your 1-star experience into a 5-star one.

amazing customs service even on Sunday. I made a mistake at check out, clicked twice (instead of 2 I was charged for 4 radios). I called ASAP thinking i would get a NON human or recording to leave message on Sunday...To my surprise Jackie with Rapid Radios answered. I explained the issue and she said DON'T worry, I will correct it...She was so friendly, professional and corrected the mistake ASAP. She will inform sales/ecommerce of the wording on the site for others not to make the same mistake. I was shocked to talk to someone on a weekend and handled so fast. (empowerment) . We need more customer service employees like Jackie for many U.S. brands. Keep up the great work and thanks Jackie

These radios are great! Crystal clear connection no matter where you are. We have purposely texted them in “non-cell” areas and they still work. Multiple family members in multiple states, all at the same time. Kelsey with customer service was super helpful and solved my issue quickly. Great customer service!

Jared from Rapid Radios helped me with a lost radio, when we found it Jared assisted in reconnecting that radio and it worked perfectly. Jared was quick to answer my questions and assisted in cancelling an invoice for a replacement radio. Once he got me all setup, my wife was able to communicate from New England with my radio in the Midwest. Jared is awesome.

I ordered 4 units last year , I put them away and lost trac of them . My wife her brother and sister are traveling across the US with their 80 year old mother . I called rapid radio and they put me back in service in 5 minutes . They updated all the radios and offered replacements if the updates would not take . I am feeling much better about the trip based on a true link for communication .
I am a retired automotive service manger of 37 years and this is the kind of customer service I would teach my staff.
I will write another review after they return , again American based company with true customer service values .

I purchased the rapid radios a few months ago. I really enjoy them. They work very good. I had some questions about renewal for the year and called the company. I talked to Abigail. She was very helpful on answering my questions and taking care of an issue, I had questions about the service fee every year. I had no problem contacting them. She also advised if I had any questions just to give her a call. I consider Customer Service very good on this product.

Thank you for your feedback.
We understand your concern regarding the annual service fee and would like to provide some clarification. Every Rapid Radio includes the first year of nationwide service at no additional cost. After the first year, there is an annual service renewal of $50 per radio to maintain LTE connectivity across multiple nationwide carrier networks. This is not a monthly fee, and customers are free to renew whenever they choose to continue service.
We strive to clearly communicate the annual renewal throughout our website, product pages, FAQs, and during the checkout process so customers understand how the service works before purchasing.
We would like the opportunity to discuss your concerns further; however, we are unable to identify your account based on this review alone. We are requesting your contact information so a member of our Customer Support team can reach out to answer any questions, address your concerns, and work toward a resolution. We hope to have the opportunity to turn your experience into a positive one.
