Without a repeater or a base station, yes, you are correct. However, lets say a group of siblings that live throughout the state, where everyone lives within 25 miles of at least one family member. In that case you could set up your own self managed repeater network. You can use some radios with your cell phone to send and receive text messages over GMRS. The radio interfaces with your phone via Bluetooth. That's kinda neat. I wonder if there is any encryption. -
This is about all they are good for. A local, short distance walkie talkie when cell phones are out. -

This is a very good point. It is not like there is a channel/frequency that people are monitering in case of emergencies. And if you do reach someone they may not know how to help. In a SHTF situation, if you are looking for news/updates how will you know the info you are getting from as stranger over the radio is valid and not disinformation? If you have friends and family in the area you want to keep in touch with without cell phones and setup protocols to communicate (ie get on the radio every day at these times) it may be useful. What is the area you need to cover and who do you want to communicate with?
