Walkie-talkies and satellite phones in India: prices by type

Updated 11 November 2026

A handheld radio in India costs about ₹5,827 to ₹8,499, a 4G walkie-talkie with a SIM about ₹14,850 to ₹23,500, and a satellite messenger about ₹16,188 to ₹52,000. Satellite phones cost about ₹26,933 to ₹2,33,052. For the current price of your device, describe how you will use it and the range you need in a BlaBlaPrice request, and sellers reply with their own offer.

Licences and warranty: what to check

No licence or permit requirement for these radio or satellite devices in India was confirmed in our search, so ask the seller and the authorities before you buy, and before you take a device on a trip. A warranty is a promise by the manufacturer or seller to repair or replace a product that fails, so ask which of them gives it, for how long, and whether a service centre is in your city. Some sellers include a subscription with a device, such as three years free on one PoC radio, so confirm the terms of any satellite plan in writing.

Climate and coverage

The climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. A satellite device needs a clear view of the sky, and heavy cloud in the wet months can make the link less reliable, so test a messenger outdoors before a trek. Keep radios out of direct heat and damp, because the wet season is hard on electronics.

Delivery and range

Prices are per device, and the listings do not say whether delivery, the subscription and the charger are included. Ask for the total to Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai. Radio range is given in kilometres, and some PoC radios are listed with coverage "all over India", so check the coverage where you will actually use the device.

What to write in the request

Name the device type (handheld radio, PoC walkie-talkie, satellite messenger or satellite phone), the model if you know it, and the quantity. Say whether you want new or used, and what the device must do: the range, a camera, SIM use or tracking. Add whether you want the box, charger and warranty, your budget and the delivery city.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the device in your own words, and the AI asks for any missing details before it looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose one seller. Buying through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers.
