Build Your Own Cell tower

Posted by Hemos on from the beam-with-joy dept.

BlakeCaldwell writes "If you're the type who dreads being dragged kicking and screaming into the use of a cell phone, Samsung sells their Long Range Cordless Phone. With an incredible (for landlines) 30-mile range, the set includes a caller ID-capable LCD and is able to communicate with the base-station, acting as an intercom."

    This sounds to me like it'll be short-lived. More than ten people in your neighborhood get one and it's all over.

    Only friends and family know my cellphone number and perhaps my car garage.

    I've never been bothered by telemarketers on my cell phone yet. With this, you can get harrassed by them all day long.

    With this, you'll need to leave town to get peace and quiet.
