Despite the issue with range, I still feel that this walkie-talkie is a great device overall and can be quite handy when you’re outdoors. I’m concerned about the app not being supported in the future (or them turning off a server that disabled the extra function altogether).

My advice is that if you’re going off the grid, then it’s best to carry a ton of extra batteries so that you have access to communication on your T800. The Talkabout app uses the T800 as a modem, so you can send location information, messages and more to other T800 users in your group.The Quiet Talk (QT) feature ensures uninterrupted communication with other Motorola radios that also have this feature. The Motorola Talkabout T800 comes with two Motorola T800 two way radios, AC Charging Adapter With Dual Micro-USB Connectors, two NiMH rechargeable batteries, two belt clips, 16 Identification stickers, owner's manual and a two year manufacturer warranty. Actual range will vary depending on terrain and conditions, and is often less than maximum possible.

The TALKABOUT app uses the T800 as a modem to send messages, locations and more over the radio frequencies to your fellow T800 users.Whether camping, fishing, skiing, or on the trail, the Motorola T800 is ready for instant FRS communications! This means you can recharge the batteries using your laptop or another power source with a USB port. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The T800 includes two walkie talkies and is perfect for consumer uses, such as camping, hiking, fishing, skiing, and more.
