    So I had the idea today after finding out that cell phones wont really work in Cancun without ridicolous charges to spend like 100-200 bucks on walkie talkies. Found place to get pairs of them for 20 so 10 each with a 12 mile radius. I think it be great for any guys or girls me and my friends meet and party with and that we like to give them a walkie talkie so that we can all meet up and chill at a later point. Im in cancun for 2 weeks so even handing out one a day to group of people we meet or w.e so that they have option to hit us up to go to same club or w.e

    Don't be that guy

    Cell phones work everywhere and every cell phone company offers a Mexico travel plan which makes it pretty cheap to use down there.

    I tried that my first year. It was a fail. The range is never as good as advertised. Nobody wants to carry it out. Cell phone is better.

    It's pretty much a waste anyways, I kept one in my purse for emergencies and as soon as I got to the club, the doorman confiscated it and said I could get it back at the end of the night. Try remembering to do that after you've drank yourself to oblivion. I ended up forgetting about it lol Besides we never ended up using them anyways. We would always just plan ahead with people where to meet and when just like the old school days before everyone had cells and it always worked out okay. If you need to call back home, I just bought a phone card, it was cheaper than adding international calling to my cell plan.
