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.
