These radios will work anywhere if they're close enough. The fact that they use those frequencies doesn't mean they have to be close to towers or anything, it just means those frequencies are reserved for personal radio use so you don't have to worry about interfering with something important.This is only true in the United States. Other countries may have different licensing requirements.Legally you are also supposed to obtain a license for GMRS--FRS you don't need but only has the range of a mile or 2.
