Best Way To Contact While On Board?

And then some will want to take them into foreign ports where it is often illegal to use US designed walkie talkies. Fines and/or jail can result if caught using them.

I was unaware that it was illegal in some foreign ports. Nor would I have ever thought of it??? I will say now that "Maybe a 2 way radio is not the best way to communicate":eek:

I guess both users are heartbroken...

 

But seriously, worked fine for me on a windows laptop, and a windows phone.

 

All you need is a browser.

I look at my wife and tell her where I probably be and when I will definitely be back at the cabin. Low tech but it always works.

I believe the easiest way to communicate would be to buy a set of two way radios. For two of them a good set (length of range) you can get for around $70-90. This may seem high however if you travel a lot and adventure off without each other a lot they could come in handy, and it also is only a "one time buy".

 

All the FRS and GMRS hand held radios (aka walkie talkie) are limited to 1/2 watt or 500 mw output power into a short antenna. The expensive ones have no more range than the cheaper ones. The radios are limited to 23 distinct channels and each channel can only carry one transmission at a time. Private channels are a salesman's joke as they do not exist per the FCC. Ships are made of steel meaning the walls, floors etc which impedes radio waves. Finally they are illegal to use in most countries outside the USA and Canada. If they decide to enforce their laws, you can be fined for using them and have them confiscated. The Caribbean islands are foreign countries or part of some foreign country. Use them off the ship AYOR.

I tried it with a lumia 640 -- $29 on black friday.

 

All the app on android does is redirect you to the browser,

but it lets princess say "WE HAVE AN APP, TOO".

Ditto here. Normally our phones sit in the safe. I was just curious after having just purchased this awesome phone! ✈
