Two Way Direct TWD25 Walkie-Talkie with Nationwide Range

The compact TWD25 lets you talk at the push of a button across town or from coast to coast, wherever supported cellular service is available. It automatically connects to the strongest available carrier for failover redundancy. Conversations are private and encrypted within your authorized group, without the channel interference common to traditional walkie-talkies. No radio license, repeaters, or setup are required—it works right out of the box.

Want more control? Request free access to our online Management Portal to manage groups and users. Our compatible smartphone app and Web Dispatch platform let you communicate with radios and track users’ locations from a phone or computer. You can add radios anytime by contacting our support team to link them to your group.

With its compact design, GPS location tracking, and an SOS button, the TWD25 is a great way to stay in touch with your kids without handing them a smartphone. They can reach their authorized group without apps, internet browsing, or social media on the radio. The first year of nationwide service is included; renewal is just $50 per radio per year after that, with no monthly fees or contracts. Two Way Direct is 100% American owned and operated and has served customers since 2005.

Once we received the set of 6 we ordered, one of the walkies was not connecting. My husband had to call several times to get assistance. We live in a remote area, thinking these would be great for any emergency situation we need to communicate with family, yet the connection is still not great.

So far so good, but battery life could be a bit better. Clear and good coverage area.

Our school campus security team relies on these daily

We needed reliable communication that didn't require an expensive radio infrastructure. The TWD25s run on LTE so our team is connected across every corner of campus without a single repeater.

We use them on our ranch every single day

We run cattle on about 600 acres in central Texas. My ranch hands are spread out across the property and cell coverage in some of the back pastures is thin. These are great! They make our work more efficient

No license, no contracts sold me instantly

I spent a lot of time researching PTT radios and almost every other option came with either a monthly fee, an FCC license requirement, or a complicated subscription plan. The TWD25 had none of that. One-time purchase, first year included, $50 a year after that. I bought four of them within a week of the first two arriving.

Best family purchase this year

Bought two as a trial, ended up buying four more for the extended family. Clear audio, easy setup, and my family actually uses them. That last part is the hardest thing to achieve with any gadget.

My roofing crew finally has reliable communication

I run a roofing company with crews on multiple job sites across the county. Before these I was relying on phones and half the time guys wouldn't answer or were in a loud area. Now I push a button and the whole crew hears me instantly.
