Should you hire or buy a two way radio? At Comsco we know that no two companies are the same so we like to take time to find out about you, so we can advise on the best solution to your communication needs. There are pros and cons for both hiring and purchasing. Please find below the reasons why hiring the radio may be a better option for both you and your company.

- Ear pieces provided.
- Charging stations provided free of charge.
- Spare Batteries provided free of charge.

Long-Term Radio Hire
- No large initial financial outlay.

- Faulty radio? Faulty charger? – A replacement is despatched on a next day service and the faulty equipment is collected, too.

Should you decide that purchasing the equipment is a better option for you then the following information may be beneficial?
- Once you have made the initial financial outlay then there is no monthly charge.
- The repair and servicing of the equipment would need to be organised by yourselves.
- If you are purchasing professional radios then you will also need to apply for a licence from OFCOM (Office of Communications).
