Don't TC if your local WM doesn't have it in stock. Just tell it to your grandma. Or, your safe space therapist.

Just so everyone knows, since we've been long enough in the cell phone era that people have different expectations of communications technology now: Anyone can hear you talking on these, and the "privacy code" features are hilariously mislabeled and do not do anything to protect your privacy. If you give these to your kids, it is rather easy for them to come in contact with random weirdos in your neighborhood (we have a cool guy who yells and curses at kids for using FRS around my neck of the woods, for instance). They are a nice tool to have, but it's important to understand that you have effectively zero control over who hears you or who can talk to you.
Could be useful in Europe if you don't want to get cell service for a short period of time. But now most ski resorts have wifi all over the place.
We had great luck using Midland talkies which could work blocks away even in a congested area, 1/4 mile away. They even worked through concrete walls. But, those run closer to $50 a pop vs these.
That being said, I wouldn't use these for that purpose.
