Some good deals on E Bay.Make sure you get them with a minimum of 5 miles range as the mountains can often weaken the signal.

Hi Paul, we have a set of Uniden walkie talkies. I have used them in Bansko and found them very effective. I have two teenage sons and because they are better than us "Old Uns" we were able to keep intouch all day, even when we were in the pub at the bottom and they were still at the top. Argos has them on page 987 price £99.95. We bought ours 3 years ago for about £70. When are you going? We go again 13th Jan. Have a safe skire: two way radios

As an alternative you could consider buying a local sim card. BG calls are very cheap and you get great reception in the mountains. You will need to have your phone unlocked first and this can cost between £1.99 for a Nokia to £ 20 for a Motorola Razr.The sim cards cost as much as there is credit on them so no cost involved really. Any of the locals will be able to show you how to add credit to the sims.

We purchased Uniden radios in Bulgaria {GMR635-2CK} have a radius of 6 mile, 22 channel, not required to register them for 63.OO leva.Anyone bringing radios over with them or if you meet new friends on the slopes who also have radios, you can be in contact with them.
In Borovets, I found out that if my hubby was skiing up top at the Markujik runs and I was on the Yastrebets runs there was no connection due to the mountain range.Above all, they were great and only an initial cost to purchase ...
