These walkie talkies don't carry a signal at all, they have a continual hum while on, but the buttons don't even work and there is no talking to each other on these.

Not worth buying

By Sherbear

from Madison, WI on 8/20/2007

Pros:

Lightweight

Best Uses:

For fun

Describe Yourself:

Parent

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Cell Phone Walkie-Talkies:

I thought for [$], why not? But they do not work well at all. They squell in your ear and don't work 75% of the time. I know they are for older children, mine being only 21 months, but she loves talking on the phone and thought she could as least hear us talking to her. But even my husband and I couldn't get them to work.

Very Bad Idea

By Grammy

from Omaha, Ne on 8/18/2007

Pros:

Look cute

Cons:

Do not work, Flimsy

Best Uses:

Maybe paperweight, Not a good use for item

Describe Yourself:

Grandparent, Teacher

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Cell Phone Walkie-Talkies:

I bought these for the kids to use when we went on family camp outs. But you can only hear the other person if you stand beside them. Not even a room away let alone across the campsite!
Guess they will have fun pretending to have cell phones - but I could have found much cheaper non-working phones!

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Cell Phone Walkie-Talkies:

My kids are 9 & 10 and love these. It makes them think they had a real cell phone and have been playing ever since. They take them everywhere. I wouldn't recommend these for kids under 5 but are perfect for the older kids.

Comments about Lillian Vernon Cell Phone Walkie-Talkies:

This is the worst money ever spent. I hate that my little girl saved her money for these! I know they are not alot but to her it was and the look on her face after she was waiting for them, so excited, just broke my heart!!!! You couldnt hear anything unless you were standing right next to the person. Very misleading
