Look at PMR 446 radios, these are license free but do have a limited range. There are consumer type or more professional type. e.g.

Or you can rent radios (or buy) from many places, I've used Audiolink in Wembley. http://www.audiolink.co.uk/page/Hire/
You need to think about recharging.
Or why not look at CB radios? Loads on eBay.

But at that price, which I suppose is fair for what they do, i'd be able to get to PAYG Spanish sims I bet
Biggest advantage is 2-way radios are generally legal to use while driving, mobile phones are not which restricts usage unless there are passengers in the car.
I was certainly glad to have the radios on a recent road trip when our convoy got separated in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal.
Mine are only cheapo Cobra Micotalks but range is still good for about a mile, easily long enough to shout at someone when they miss a turning or getting near a motorway junction.

I guess thats the level I was after...I was certainly glad to have the radios on a recent road trip when our convoy got separated in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal.

I see your point about the legality, which is a crazy double standard I suppose!
Thanks for the input all, I certainly have some pondering to do.
