carloverguy2017 5th Gear August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 Just purchased a box of walkie talkies ( 4 in a box ) for $50+ and I did a little short range test just to find out the sound quality and having a little fun. Great to have on a convoy trip with your friends , or when visiting theme parks or zoo etc.. where everyone can roam around freely and then call each other for a meal or drink together. Well, at least without incurring overseas charges. For about $12 to $13 per piece.. the price is unbeatable. Not selling nor am I a vendor. So please do not PM or ask me where to buy. Online do your homework. https://youtu.be/UaJwRp-45P4 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaiyotakamli Supersonic August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 This is best to use at cruise trip lol Because in cruise, internet is expensive. Convoy up north or themepark no issue can use phone, in MY can use starhub new data travel plan, $5 for 1GB for 3days nia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic August 3, 2018 Share August 3, 2018 Just use M1 roaming data. Can WhatsApp voice call whatever you want. Before trip, just activate, pay $10 + $2 admin, the whole month you can use your own local data bundle for roaming. Come back from trip just deactivate it. Works very well if you already have large local data bundles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buadongdong Twincharged August 3, 2018 Share August 3, 2018 https://www.mcmc.gov.my/skmmgovmy/files/attachments/Guideline_Amateur_Radio_Service_2012.pdf My good fren found it. Too long to read but the first few pages suggest that there is no specific guidelines mentioned on the talkie itself. Mainly: "Specifically, there are few things that amateur radio operators are not allowed to do: a) Amateur radio operators are not allowed to do anything with their radios that can generate financial income. b) Amateur radio operators are prohibited from broadcasting to the public. The amateur radio transmission is meant to be received by other amateur radio operators/stations only. c) Amateur radio services shall not be used for the expansion of business, religion and politics. So in short, as long as one is not infringing on these criteria, then no issue right?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If got Sg Ham radio license also cannot use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
