Weird question, are other people able join in on the frequency for the kids walkies?

No, these are really not the best quality. I bought these and returned them. They are not very good quality. You can get a better quality, and less expensive set in the electronics dept, that have further range than these.

Yes our four-year-old and nine-year-old use it to talk with us they live a half a block away. Need to teach them how to use it when to push the button and when to let go very easy.

You don't "link up" walkie talkies per se. If all four are dialled into the same channel, then one transits a message and the other three receive it. And then someone else transmits a message and the other three receive it. They are all "simplex" devices, in that one one can transmit at a time. Homes telephones are duplex, in that one transmits ans receives simultaneously (e.g. while you talk, you can hear the other person clearing their throat). So can buy 4 of these cobra units and go on vacation, and use it no problem. But only one person at a time can talk.

Great IDEA for a feature, but as far as I'm aware, the "baby unit" is always in the communication loop. However, as I think about this, it might be possible to lower the volume on the baby unit to the point it can't be heard in the nursery so the parents COULD talk on the other 2 units. It's late tonight, but I'll check this theory out for you sometime tomorrow & re-edit this answer so we'll know for sure. ***stay tuned*** ----------- Update 7/23/13: Checked for you this morning & unfortunately, the "baby" unit's LOWEST volume level is still audible. So, no, you can't communicate between the two "parent" units without the "baby" unit broadcasting the sound. Even though you can talk to one another, "baby" can always hear. Hope that helped you!

Yes. The watch is too large. Try the new gps watch From att. It is just $10 per month and is just 4 kids!

Hello. I really couldn't tell you, because as soon as I get thr package, all of my kids take one for them. But I think you can by pressing 2 times the forward button.

Yes if you mean the parent unit (the part not in the nursery). We have 2 parent units and one base and it all works well together. It might work the other way too, but you wouldn't be able to listen to both bases (the part in the nursery) at the same time. You'd have to switch frequencies to match the base you want to listen to.

Not sure--we usually have 2-3 people at the same time. But, it is a GREAT device!!

Yes you can. There's a small flap by the antenna that you pull up. I love the walkie talkie set.

I will it would allow more cell devices to pair. I have five cell phones in my house and two of them are mine. One for personal and the other for work. I was able to pair up my personal phone and set my business cell to forward to my personal phone so I in effect now have three (including the hubbies) setup on this system. I guess the kids will have to manage on their own. We don't have a land line. I'm surprised there are not more of these device. I hate it when my cell is downstairs and I'm upstairs. If I hear the phone, I make the mad dash.

No, you can only conference someone else in your house to the person you dialed on the phone. I still love the set of phones. The last set I bought lasted 10 years.

Yes. We talk to our families that way all the time. Just push the "Talk" button on any extra phone to join the conversation.

Yes. It's like having an android phone without the phone. So you can download all the popular games from Google Play and you can set the Times the kids play and get a daily report of what they have done on the MG Player.

Just have to make sure the channels match on each walkie talkie and it says it on the side and make sure its on. Hold the large button while talking so its pretty easy. I would think a 4.5 yr old could use it. You could set the channels on each unit then its a matter of pushing the button to talk. Hope that helps

I agree with all the others, yes 1 person can do it but it goes much quicker with 2. If it just you and the kids, you guys can do it!
1922207
No, it cannot. The walkie talkie has many channels; but if you mean 6pcs of walkie talkie, yes it can communicate between those talkies.

I'm not sure but I know there are very few times where we pickup frequencies of random users in the area so we just choose a different frequency and problem solved. That might happen once every 2 months.
