Walkie Talkies
Walkie talkies are licence-free two way radios, ready to use straight from the box with no Ofcom paperwork. In the UK they run on PMR446, which makes them the easy choice for shops, hospitality, small sites, events and outdoor leisure.
Every model here keeps to the licence-free rules: 0.5 watts, a fixed antenna and PMR446 type approval, so there is nothing to apply for and nothing to pay. If you need more range or your own clear channels, step up to licensed two way radios, and complete your kit from our accessories range.
Walkie talkie FAQs
Do walkie talkies need a licence in the UK?
No. UK walkie talkies run on PMR446, a public band anyone can use licence-free, provided the radio keeps to the rules — 0.5 watts, a fixed antenna and PMR446 type approval. Every model here meets them.
How far do walkie talkies reach?
PMR446 is line-of-sight: expect a few hundred metres around buildings and up to a couple of kilometres across open ground. Walls, steel and hills cut that down.
When should I move up to a licensed radio?
When you keep running out of range, fight interference on busy channels, or need to cover a large or multi-storey site. At that point licensed two way radios are the answer.
Can walkie talkies from different brands talk to each other?
Yes, as long as they are both PMR446 and set to the same channel and privacy code. The band is standardised, so brand does not prevent it.
