An idea for someone to start

[jane p]

Somebody needs to come up with a cheap waterproof mobile phone

I think most modern phones are water resistant are they not?

Plus how many people stand outside in the rain and make a phone call. Surely most people will wait until they are somewhere more 'comfortable' to make a call

A mate of mine spent loads on a sim free JCB phone. He's a builder. At last new years eve party he decided to throw it in the ice bucket with all the beers.... never worked again

hehehehhe

No they arent. It says in the book keep them away from water. I got some on my phone the other week. A bottle of water leaked onto the phone into my bag and it never dried out. Water gets into the battery and just generally into the whole phone!

I think there are some waterproof phones out there but they are very dear so there you go! Come up with a cheap waterproof phone and dont forget me when the millions come rolling in!

Why can't you get a mobile phone with a sim card that allows several numbers on it ?

I think there is a new one for tough Devonians like us call the Land Rover phone I saw it in the Sunday Mail Live magazine

from memory, that looks EXACTLY like the JCB phone but with a different casing..... http://www.jcbphone.co.uk/

and that's his bloody black landie in the picture at the background.....cost an effin fortune as well.... hope that works better in water...

Amen to this, I decided to give my phone a wash in the bath (checking emails in the bath... now that's dedication ;-) ) and it's well and truly broken.

Fortunately I have a spare so I'm using that for now, but it was a good phone so I'm pretty annoyed (at myself!).

arent they expensive though?

Dragons Den's back tonight so you never know...

As an alternative there are many cheap waterproof covers out there for about £5 which allow you to still make calls and receive texts etc. Might be a short term solution for when your mobiles in your bag, or if your WeAreRedBalloon sitting in the bath

 

[jane p]

yep and dont forget to empty your pockets when putting your trousers in for washing!

A year or two ago I fell into a pond whilst on my phone. It was quite murky water and took about 2 mins to find it. But to my surprise my friend was still on the other end of the line. Got lucky. It was a sony Erriccson

Several years ago when my EX was receiving calls from some 'mystery' women - I threw his mobile into the pond.

Imagine my surprise when some minutes later it started to ring.

Imagine his surprise when I told him where his mobile was.

Guess its still at the bottom of the pond (the phone - that is)!
