Hey, I’m David Chen. I’m 48 years old, and I work as a high school science teacher. I live with my wife, Linda, and our three kids—ranging from 10 to 17 years old—in a small town in Colorado. My elderly parents live a few hundred miles away in Arizona, and our oldest son is off at college in California.
Even though we’re spread out, we’ve always kept in touch and stayed close. We decided to try Okradi because it’s easy to use, offers nationwide coverage, and doesn’t require a monthly subscription. This has helped us save on communication costs and stay connected with everyone, no matter where they are.
Which Okradi Products Do You Use?
We first bought two Okradi radios to stay in touch with our son at college. But it didn’t take long before we realized these devices were perfect for our outdoor activities, too. So, we bought four more to make sure everyone in the family—including my parents, my brother's family, and even our son away at school—could stay in touch easily.
Okradi has really made a difference in our family life. My parents often need to check in with us about day-to-day stuff, and the radios have been a reliable tool for that. My oldest son, despite being far away, can still share what’s going on in his life. It feels like he’s still right there with us.
What Do You Like Most About Okradi?
What I love most is the combination of coverage, cost, and durability. For a family like ours that’s spread out but still very close-knit, it’s invaluable.
-
Nationwide Coverage: Whether we’re in our small town or on a long road trip, the signal is strong and clear.
-
Transparent Pricing: With phone bills climbing, Okradi is an affordable alternative. Family-to-family communication is totally free, and the low annual fee after the first year is a huge plus.
-
Impressive Durability: Our kids often take the radios on hikes or camping trips. They've dropped them a few times, and they still work like new. Knowing these devices are tough gives me peace of mind.
What Features Would You Like Okradi to Add?
While Okradi is already great, a couple of features could make it even better. I think it would be awesome if it could integrate NOAA weather alerts. For a family that loves the outdoors, real-time weather updates are crucial. It would also be fantastic if Okradi had a solar charging option for even more reliability off-grid.
My Advice for Large Families
I really believe every family should be prepared for emergencies. Make sure you have basic supplies and a reliable communication tool like Okradi. When things go wrong, being able to stay in touch is so important.
My advice is to get enough devices for everyone in your family network and make sure everyone knows how to use them. Even young kids can use Okradi to contact their parents in emergencies. Plus, having these devices allows families to communicate more frequently, strengthening bonds and staying close, no matter where everyone is.
Okradi isn’t just a communication tool—it’s the glue that holds our family together.
