I just purchased my first GMRS radios, Baofeng UV-5G Plus. I was having problems connecting them to my laptop and was convinced that something was defective and was ready to send them back. But I cont... See more

I needed some documentation to homologate a product in my country. After trying to contact several different fronts, o finally found Olivia, which was kind, fast and accurate on providing me all the information. This is the kind of atitude that really changes the way you think about the business
Thankis.
You got back to me quickly and thanks to your help I was able to unlock my radio. BTW is there someone in the New York area who fixes Baofengradios just in case I need assistance in the future.
Problems with my new UV-17R
I ordered 2 UV-17R talkies from Baofeng and 1 of them did not work. I called customer service, and they replaced the defective radio and shipped it to me very quickly. I own many Baofeng radios, and this is the first time I have ever had a problem. Baofeng treated me with excellent customer support. I will continue to purchase Baofeng products.
Support at Baofengradio is very helpful.
Support at Baofengradio was kind enough to send me an e-document with the operating manual for my recently purchased Dual Band UV-21R handheld radio. Without it, I had no clue how the radio would function or how to use same. Thank you!

Dear BOAFENG,
Dear BOAFENG,
I would like to thank you very much for your excellent support when I come with my questions (DM - 32 UV), as well as for your other products. Absolutely fantastic, including your kindness all these miles away in southern Germany. And especially, a big hello to your wonderful Ms. Olivia from the support team. She's always a great help.
Many greetings to my Chinese friends... Robert Hummel from southern Germany

I have used Baofeng customer service twice. Both times they responded within a day, and resolved my issues to my complete satisfaction. Thank you customer service at Baofeng!
Great Products and Incredible Support
Great products, excellent quality, and amazing support! I have worked in the electronics industry for over 40 years. I have worked with numerous companies throughout the world. Baofeng support is the best I have ever encountered! I highly recommend Baofeng and their products to others.
Excellent fast customer service no BS

I purchased a set of uv 5gs and a set of uv 5g pluses. The pluses were easy enough to program, but the normal 5gs didn't seem to have any specific software so I downloaded a few things that looked possible. None worked, so I reached out to baofeng's customer service for a solution. Turns out they use the "plus" software, but the cs team was extremely thorough, providing multiple links and checking back multiple times to ensure I got everything working. Shocking level of support for a $30 radio.
Super service
Super service, very quick answer, problem solving very efficient. I can only recommend
Had a question regarding the power on…
Had a question regarding the power on password for a UV-5RM, did a quick search for technical support and ended up on the official Baofeng website. I submitted a technical support message and within a couple of hours, (literally went to sleep and woke up in the morning) and I had a response to my email with two possible solutions for my issue. Immediately I tried the first option and I was in, the radio was unlocked. Overall it was a great experience, with helpful and expedited technical advice that actually works.
Specific instructions helped
Specific instructions to help were available.
Baofeng Service Team is second to none
Baofeng Service Team is second to none! They solved my issue with information that I needed to use my device and in a very timely manner. I'm very satisfied with their service. I'll be purchasing Baofeng for any future radio needs

I had an issue with a programming cable. They responded with the information I needed to fix the issue. It was a driver issue. They directed me to it and the cable I thought was junk suddenly worked perfectly! Very helpful company.
Great service for finding part
I could not find the part that i wanted. I reached out to your company. Olivia got back to me right away, i now have that part. I am very happy, thanks Dave.
