mmmh... no one know?
Did you notice this kind things selling in Singapore? -
They do sell walkie-talkies in Singapore
You can use them though I never seen anyone use them except for those construction workers etc for work. Though I do know that some people who go on hiking and cycling trips use them to keep in touch -
Not all Walkie-Talkie are allowed to b used in Singapore, best u check with IDA. If not later u kana fine or even jail. Thats y all walkie-talkie sold in Singapore need to get approval fm IDA 1st. Cannot anyhw sell n anyhw use.Originally posted by elindra:They do sell walkie-talkies in Singapore

U never see I used the word 'etc' and stated it is usually for work.Originally posted by contact_thatslife:aiyo...plp working in restaurants oso use ma...u never c mei? they communicate w one another 2 c any empty tables or to check if e food is ready.

Hmm...of course you can use a walkie-talkie in Singapore as long as you don't try to tap into the police's frequencies.
But why is there a need to use a walkie-talkie? Mobile rates in Singapore aren't really that expensive as compared to other countries.

construction workers etc, can b those related to construction work only, like security guards in construction sites they use it during their work...Originally posted by elindra:U never see I used the word 'etc' and stated it is usually for work. -
I think it's ok to use that walkie-talkie if using the "FRS" channel.
Saw these sold in computer firm & mustafa. Also was used by bikers on the move. Last Saturday also saw a little use walkie-talkie at Bedok Jetty talking to her father.
It's a nice piece of outdoor tools.

It is really convenient to communicate with walkie-talkie compare to mobile phone, just push and talk.Originally posted by parn:Hmm...of course you can use a walkie-talkie in Singapore as long as you don't try to tap into the police's frequencies.

Can, one of my friend's dad in construction line using walkie talkie to communicate with his workers.
I guess as long as dont tap into other people line and interrupt, nobody bothers what you do.

You better check with IDA. I think it is against the law to bring such a powerfull walkie talkie into Singapore without approval.Originally posted by burntan:Hi, I am going to Singapore in about 2 weeks time, I am wondering can I bring a pair of walkie-talkie and use it while the time I'm traveling in Singapore?

You can do anything and use anything in Singapore. Just don't get caught! -
Will it easy to get caught? My impression is Singapore is a very lawful place.Originally posted by Homebody:You can do anything and use anything in Singapore. Just don't get caught! -
