A German inventor has come up with a novel way for relatives coping with the grief of losing a loved one to convey their feelings to the departed. The "Phone Angel," a long-life battery powered cell phone device, allows those in mourning to have contact with the deceased when personal pain, distance or disability prevents them from attending the final resting place."
The device -- consisting of a cell phone, a super strength battery and a small loudspeaker -- comes in a waterproof container the size of an average shoe box which is placed in the earth about 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) above the grave.
Using an application that most modern mobile phones have, automatic call response, Bröther's invention allows every caller to get through. The Phone Angel clicks on and allows communication as if someone on the other end had picked up the receiver. Unlike the recipient of the call, the line is very rarely dead.

wouldnt bother if i were you, was all hype! I thought it looked really good but was a big let down! Just thought I would mention it seeing as mobiles feature quite prominantly in it! Would be little bizarre to get a call from your wives mobile when she been dead a week! and its sitting in yr drawer at home! Or even from the mobile buried in the grave! |

This is quite a funny article i came across on ananova.com could'nt help but laugh!
Mobile phones being buried with the dead
Dead people in Slovakia are being buried with their mobile phones.
A mourner at the funeral of a 68-year-old man even interrupted the service to make a call to the mobile phone in his deceased friend's pocket.
As the priest performed the funeral rites, the ringing tones of William Tell echoed around the church from within the casket.
Slovakians have been buried with an object of value for generations.
But Sona Blazejova from Marianum undertakers in Bratislava said: "They are being buried more and more with mobile phones.
"Perhaps they think people will call from their eternal sleep. I don't know. It's very curious."
One funeral was halted at the graveside when a son asked to check the batteries of the cell phone he had placed in his father's coffin.
