Mobile phones...

Well, some do anyway. Others use licensed radio. Expensive bits of kit though.

The taxi cabs in Southampton (private hire, not black cabs) use mobile phones, hooked up into an onboard computer. Same with a couple of the companies in Swindon.

I think a few are moving this way, as it's cheaper to buy a phone than it is a new radio.

What's the range on those taxi cab radios? You can pick them up on PMR (if you're near the taxi anyway).
