I've updated this thread with a link to the Binatone Action 1000 series as Argos no longer stock the 950s. If anyone can confirm that they definitely will communicate with the 950s on channel 6 it would be appreciated, until then we're assuming they do.

From what I can see these are PMR446 (446Mhz) That means there are a huge selection of available radios starting at a very low price that will all work together.
PMR446 is the common standard across most of the EU and they will all work together.

Someone got our daughter a set of electric pink kids walkie talkies for her birthday and they worked fine with the Binatone Action 950s so I'd say you're right.

Thread updated again to reflect another new Binatone model.

It's a pretty good idea. Have you ever happened upon someone else with one of these in the mountains (like CB Radio) or would they be used primarily for get togethers?

I know our guys use them on get togethers if you read back

I saw that. I suppose 10km wouldn't have the range.

Barring colour, those look identical to the set of pink ones that our toddler plays with  8)
