Love these radios

Love these radios! My husband took his with him on a work trip to Illinois and I'm home in Florida and we were able to use them with zero issues!! We bought them because of the last hurricane here in Florida and we couldn't get a hold of each other. They work great and the battery lasts several days

Sturdy and reliable low cost communication.

The product is sturdy and works as advertised. I appreciate the fact that its only $50 per year. I bought them to help my elderly mother (in the event of an emergency) and she likes hers. So far we are very satisfied. Their customer service was top notch and went above and beyond to help us.

No Fees? No Contracts....Think again!

This company advertises "No Monthly Fees"and "No Contracts." While difficult to find, on their website is a $50 (per radio) yearly fee or your radio(s) are (get this) turned OFF. So, there ARE FEES, just yearly, not monthly. Having your radio turned off from not paying certainly seems like a contractual relationship to me, so I'm not sure how they get away with that wording either. This type of advertising is deceptive, and not nice to do to their trusting customers. When I was first contacted by Rapid Radio to pay MORE money, I honestly thought it was a scammer who somehow found out I owned a Rapid Radio, but, it was really them...looking for more money. When I contacted them for a return, it was too late (of course!) Sooo, customers don't find out that they are LOCKED into a yearly, per radio fee until the return window has closed. (How convenient for them.) They recommended that I sell my radios on ebay or Marketplace, but why would I give this problem to someone else or help this deceptive company earn more money through more sim card purchases and fees. Also, keep in mind that these radios run on cell towers, so their claim that they will work in an emergency remains a mystery. Due to their tricky ads, they have already lost my trust and confidence in what they say, so good luck in an actual emergency. Icing on this cake is that our radios had interrupting static & delays the first time we used them while camping. I wrote a poor review that (surprise, surpise!) never made their website. Hopefully this review will keep someone else from making the same mistake. There are other, more honest companies out there.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We want to clarify that our radios do not require any monthly fees or contracts. We advertise “No Monthly Fees” because many competitors require ongoing monthly payments. With our radios, the first year of service is included at no cost, and after that, there is an optional annual renewal fee of $50 per radio to continue cellular connectivity. This is not a contract, as there is no signed agreement or credit check required, and renewal is completely optional based on when or if you choose to continue service. This information is outlined on our website, including product pages, FAQs, and at checkout, as we aim to be as transparent as possible. We understand how the messaging may be interpreted, and your feedback is valuable as we continue to improve how we communicate this to customers. Regarding performance, our radios do operate using cellular networks, which allows for nationwide coverage. Because they can connect across multiple carriers, they often perform in areas where a single carrier may struggle; however, like any cellular-based device, they do require some level of network availability. We’re also sorry to hear about the static and delays you experienced. That is not the experience we want for our customers, and our support team would be happy to troubleshoot or replace any units if needed. At this time, we have been unable to locate your order in our system due to the limited information provided. We have requested your contact details so that a manager can speak with you directly regarding this matter. You may also reach out to us at [email protected] and request to speak with our Customer Service Manager so we can assist you further. We would still like the opportunity to look into your situation and work toward a resolution. -The Rapid Radios Team

Staying Connected When It Matters Most

Owning a small business that travels, I was in need of a solution that would keep me connected to my crew both on the road between vehicles, and at events. Rapid Radios was the perfect low-cost solution. These hand-held radios are an outstanding solution for anyone needing reliable, short or long-range communication without the limitations of traditional walkie-talkies. They combine the simplicity of push-to-talk radios with the power of nationwide cellular connectivity, making them ideal for both professional and personal use. The accessory options make the radios even better. Available add-ons like charging stands, protective covers, and hands-free headsets (I have all three) allow you to customize the radios for your exact needs. I haven't needed to contact customer service, which is a nod to the quality and reliability of their product. They did, however, recently add a slick customer portal that is super-easy to navigate. It allows me to manage all aspects of my account and customize things like the radio group and radio names.

Originally I bought Rapid Radios…

Originally I bought Rapid Radios because my wifes job took her up to 2 hours away from home and into rural areas of TN and having poor to no cell service i wanted her to be able to contact me if she needs to. That was nearly a year ago.and they worked great. Then I thought, 2 hours away was pretty good but how about from TN to San Antonio. So I gave one radio to a family member in San Antonio and the connection was amazing. Time of day doesn't seem to reduce the connection. I'm considering buying more for other family members. Truly blown away with the reception.

Incredibly clear sound, use them for work on a daily basis in an area with pretty spotty cell phone coverage and these always work. Haven’t found a dead spot yet.

Amazing Customer Service

I had an issue this time renewing both my phones subscription. I contacted customer service and got a response quickly. My contact, Patsy, was great and trying to resolve the issue. Once it was determined that she was unable to fix things at their end, she decided to send me 2 new phones at no cost. Her level of communication and helpfulness was "second to none". Thank you Patsy!!!

Took more than a year to get a refund

It took me more than a year to get a refund for a product that does not work in mountainous areas. Same issue as cell phones. They ONLY WORK when each radio is in sight to a cell tower. We live in the mountains of Tennessee. They DO NOT work from the top of our mountain to the base of our mountain 1 mile apart. We have also tried to make them work in other mountainous areas and they did not work, period.

Reply from Rapid Radios2026-05-26

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Rapid Radios are designed for push-to-talk communication using available network coverage, and performance can vary depending on the surrounding service conditions in any given area. While they can often provide extended communication range compared to traditional phones in many situations, they still rely on available network coverage. To help set expectations, we do provide a coverage map on our website for customers to review expected service in their area prior to use. Regarding your refund, our published refund policy allows for a full refund within 30 days of receiving the product. Our records indicate that the refund request in this case was submitted over a year after the original purchase date.

No way to leave a ZERO star review

No way to leave a ZERO star review. No monthly service fees - NO Contracts - NO BS. This is a VERY DECEITFUL motto. Radios DO have a YEARLY fee. Which equal a contract. Next will NOT work without paid fee, if cellular towers go down, radio does NOT work. Do NOT buy. Terrible company. If you buy these you are asking to be screwed.

Reply from Rapid Radios2026-05-26

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. Rapid Radios are advertised as having no monthly fees and no contracts, meaning there are no recurring monthly charges and no signed agreements required. Each radio includes one full year of service at the time of purchase, and after that, there is an optional annual renewal fee to continue service. This information is outlined on our website, and we understand your feedback on how this is communicated. Regarding functionality, Rapid Radios are designed for push-to-talk communication using available network coverage. While this allows for extended range and instant communication, they do rely on available service, and performance can vary depending on coverage conditions.

False advertising

Their marketing is filled with misleading and flatly false information. It is nothing more than a cell phone based walkie talkie that uses cell networks for its coverage. If you couldn't use your phone, these won't work either.

Reply from Rapid Radios2026-05-26

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear you feel this way. Rapid Radios are designed for push-to-talk communication using available network coverage, which allows for extended range compared to traditional radios. While they do utilize cellular networks, they operate differently than standard cell phones—providing instant, one-button communication without dialing, the ability to connect with individuals or groups at the same time, and often faster communication flow in team-based use cases. These are also private communications between authorized users on the same system. That said, they do rely on available service, and performance can vary depending on coverage in a given area. To help set expectations, we do offer a coverage map on our website so customers can review service availability before purchasing. We also offer our My Emergency Radio, which is a ham radio option for those looking for an alternative communication method. At this time, we are unable to determine if you are a customer within our database based on the username provided. We would genuinely like the opportunity to speak with you directly and have requested your contact information so we can better understand your experience and assist further.
