I don't recommend these for anyone who I owns a cell phone cuz cell phones do the same exact thing.
When I paid almost $400 for two radios I was told it was a one time payment without any hidden charges and they work even if cell phones go out. Now suddenly I started getting texts saying I need to pay a yearly fee of $50 for each radio and if cell towers go down the rapid radio won't work. If they were honest and told about these issues from the beginning, they wouldn't have sold so many radios. I for one never would've wasted my money on them in the first place. And I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way. And I'm sure this dishonest company will make things right. If they're going to lie in the beginning to sell more radios they are definitely aren't going to do anything now. What a rip off!

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.
Rapid Radios are advertised as having no monthly fees and no contracts, which is accurate. Each radio includes one full year of service at the time of purchase, and after that, there is an optional annual renewal fee to continue service. This information is outlined on our website, including on product and service-related pages. We understand your frustration and appreciate the feedback on how this information is communicated.
Regarding functionality, Rapid Radios utilize a different technology than traditional cell phones. They are designed for push-to-talk communication and can often work in situations where standard phone calls may not connect. That said, they still rely on available network service, and performance can vary depending on coverage. We do offer a coverage map on our website so customers can review expected service in specific areas.
We would genuinely like the opportunity to review your situation and work toward a resolution. At this time, we are unable to locate your information in our system under the name provided, which makes it difficult to look into your specific order. We have requested your contact information so we can speak with you directly regarding this matter.
You may also contact us directly at info@rapidradios.com
or call (616) 227-3466 and ask to speak with our Customer Service Manager so we can better understand your concerns and assist you further.
We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to address this.

Range on boat sucks
They told me these would work up to 30 miles offshore, I purchased for boating, doesn’t even work 15 miles out. Don’t waste your money if that is why you are interested. Also never knew that there was a $50 annual fee, when year is up guess they’ll get 86ed.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you sharing your feedback.
Coverage can vary depending on available network service, and offshore performance is often more limited than land-based use. While our radios are designed to maximize connectivity across multiple carriers, service availability can decrease the farther you are from coverage areas. We do provide a coverage map on our website so customers can review expected service in specific locations prior to use.
Regarding pricing, our radios are advertised as no monthly fees and no contracts, and each device includes one full year of service at the time of purchase. After that, there is an optional annual renewal fee to continue service. This information is available on our website, including on product and service-related pages.

Lucas in customer service was a huge help—truly outstanding support. He handled everything with common sense and didn’t waste time going back and forth. When there’s an issue, they take care of it, plain and simple.
At just $50 per year per radio, it’s hard to beat—honestly cheaper than my monthly cellphone bill. I’ve even been on vacation in Kentucky and was still able to communicate with my crew back in Georgia with crystal-clear quality.
I absolutely love using Rapid for business. We’ve also taken the radios on family trips to stay connected at theme parks, and they work great every time.

I purchased 6 radios last year and was very haapy with the service AND customer service. I have an excavation/trucking company and these always performed with no problems. I bought 4 more radios this month and called customer service a few times. My last call was with Haily, who helped me sync one of the older radios to my account. Also, I needed some antenas for the older radios, which were shipped out immediatly at no charge. I highly recommend these radios not only for the clarity and performance, but the customer service team is quick to resolve your problem and make it right.

Rapid Radios are a MUST HAVE
Rapid Radios are a MUST HAVE! Prepare yourself and family not just for the future but when reception is scarce in areas and you need to maintain contact. The radios are crystal clear and Cody - customer service is Exceptional! The features allow you to be in several different groups (family, work) to keep conversations separate and even select one person to respond to within a group. The waterproof accessories and portability of the rapid radios is second to none. I am really excited about the solar charger they also now have as an accessory and the new rugged radio with wifi additional backup.

The Rapid Radios RAD1 is GREAT!!!
The Rapid Radios RAD1 is, without question, one of the most capable communication devices I have encountered. As a veteran of Public Safety with 32 years of service and an active Ham Radio operator (KJ4CZE), I have a comprehensive understanding of diverse radio systems and their field applications. It delivers what traditional radios cannot—true long-range communication—by leveraging multi-carrier cellular infrastructure rather than relying on line-of-sight frequencies.
Unlike devices limited to a single provider, the RAD1 operates across all three major U.S. cellular networks—AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile—providing exceptional coverage and reliability. In real-world testing, I was unable to find a location above ground where the device did not maintain a usable signal. The only exception was within a basement environment where 4G LTE coverage was unavailable. However, by connecting the RAD1 to a local Wi-Fi network, that limitation was immediately resolved, restoring clear and consistent transmit/receive capability throughout the entire home.
The RAD1 incorporates a well-designed Wi-Fi support system that enhances its operational flexibility:
• Network Scanning & Setup: The intuitive “Scan and Setup” feature identifies all available Wi-Fi networks within range.
• Credential Memory: Users can securely store login credentials for multiple networks, enabling seamless transitions between locations.
• Automatic Network Failover: The device intelligently prioritizes connectivity, defaulting to its multi-carrier LTE SIM while automatically switching to Wi-Fi when it detects a stronger or more stable connection.
This “Wi-Fi backup” functionality is particularly valuable in known dead zones—such as concrete structures, basements, or remote buildings—where it effectively bridges connectivity gaps using available internet access.
The RAD1 distinguishes itself from standard smartphones and conventional radios in several key areas:
• Enhanced Signal Performance: The device features a purpose-built antenna system that appears to outperform typical smartphone antennas in maintaining connectivity to distant cell towers.
• Push-to-Talk Simplicity: Designed as a professional-grade PTT device, the RAD1 eliminates dialing and call setup delays—communication is instantaneous with the press of a button.
• Out-of-the-Box Readiness: Units arrive pre-configured and activated, requiring no programming or technical setup.
Key Benefits Include:
• Nationwide & Global Communication: Utilizes LTE and Wi-Fi networks to enable near-instant communication across virtually any distance.
• Cost Efficiency: Includes one year of service, followed by a low annual renewal fee (approximately $50), avoiding traditional monthly subscription models.
• Rugged Construction: Built with an IPX6 waterproof rating and durable housing, making it suitable for demanding environments such as public safety, construction, and outdoor operations.
• Secure Communications: AES-256 encryption ensures private, protected transmissions.
• Extended Battery Life: Designed for professional use, offering up to five days of standby time with convenient USB-C charging.
The RAD1 is particularly well-suited for:
• Family Communication: Reliable long-distance contact without reliance on traditional phone calls
• Public Safety & Emergency Backup: A dependable secondary communication system capable of switching between carriers
• Business Operations: Efficient team coordination without recurring monthly communication costs
• Outdoor & Remote Activities: Ideal for environments where traditional radio range is insufficient but intermittent cellular coverage exists
Final Assessment:
The Rapid Radios RAD1 successfully bridges the gap between traditional two-way radios and modern cellular communication. Its multi-carrier capability, Wi-Fi failover, and push-to-talk simplicity make it a highly effective solution for both professional and personal use.
For users seeking a reliable, long-range communication platform without the complexity of radios or the limitations of standard cell phones, the RAD1 represents a significant advancement in the space.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of the RAD1—we truly appreciate your perspective, especially given your extensive 32 years in Public Safety and experience as a Ham Radio operator.
We’re glad to hear that the multi-carrier capability across AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile delivered the level of coverage and reliability you were looking for, and that the Wi-Fi backup feature helped bridge connectivity gaps in more challenging environments like basements. It’s great to know those features performed as intended in your real-world testing.
Your feedback on the push-to-talk simplicity, out-of-the-box setup, and overall signal performance is especially valuable, as those are core elements we focus on to make communication as seamless and dependable as possible.
We also appreciate you highlighting the practical use cases—from family communication to public safety and business operations—as that aligns closely with how we designed the RAD1 to be used.
Thank you again for your service and for sharing such a comprehensive assessment. If you ever have additional feedback or suggestions, we’d love to hear them!
