Hi, I live in south america. I have one young boy (5 years old). He is going to schooll for first time. We have many operators under GSM/GPRS/EDGE, several frequencies. My question is ...Can I put it a GSM Chip and use it?

The 5Star is a one button cell phone running on Verizon's network. So it works where you can a decent cell phone signal. Verizon has the best cell phone network.

The Verizon pre-paid wireless network that it uses is not the same as it's regular cellular network. Check coverage online @ Verizon. Unfortunately the locator doesn't work much of the time although you can talk to a 5Star rep - who has no clue where you are

Ive been using it a while to find my cats before dark. It only has a range of about 500 ft. If you lost your cell in your house or yard or card it would be great but not if its more than a half mile away.

I believe within 300-500 fts (not yard b/c 1yard = 3ft). The further away, the signal is weak and sometime it disables itself. It is great within a house (downstair and upstair.) I hope the info will help you in making the selection.

600 feet unless you're touching the transmitter antennae. You have to hold it out like the Statue of Liberty to get that range.

Used it for upto 150 feet, I know the package says 130 feet but I was feeling a little adventurous! Taking care of the seals is the key

Hello, I tested the range and found 15 feet if the mouse USB receiver/transmitter is behind at tower case. 20 feet if the USB receiver/transmitter is in front of the case. This mouse has worked very well for me, as I have used it for over a year with no problems.

I've never used it at that distance, and before I would've bought it for an application of that distance I would've called the company. I have 2 of them at a normal distance of around 15 - 20 feet.

I believe the range is 500 feet. I can walk out to the mailbox (country road) and to a back shed on our property of 2-1/2 acres. My phone or any other device is no problem.

Sadly I would say it is at least several hundred feet ... I lost mine in an effort to try to save it from crashing into some trees ... went out of sight briefly, I gave it full power, never saw it again!

I am going nearly 1km through trees... Can't exactly see the far side but they are working, so it should go through 150 yards

Well, the specs sheet says 450 feet (outdoors or unimpeded). We haven't really tested this much since our house isn't very large. When indoors the effective range will obviously be reduced.

It should easily reach that far. I just tested it and it was a good 20 some feet before it started bugging out. Just know that some wireless sources can interfere with the reception.

Not really sure if the range goes that far. All I need it for is a 4 or 5 mile range at the most.

Yes,I'm not sure of range limit!I've done it from about 1.5 blocks !I'd say it would probably be good up to 1/4 mile tops!But I can't verify that!

Sorry I took so long, but I just used it outdoors today!! It performed as I expected, very well!!! My neighbors came out as I was working on my car and were very impressed with the sound, and equally impressed that it was wireless. The range was about 50 feet. Good enough for me. Again, theoretically it's wireless but is powered by an AC cord, which for the extra volume and bass is alright with me. Hope this helps you out.

The manufacturers instructions says 1000 feet. You can go to the Cross Point Voice Alert System 6 site and there are 4 PDFs related to the system you can read/download.
