How to stay in touch – even when you’re dead

An inventor from Osnabruck, Germany, has released a mobile phone for the deceased. The idea is that once your loved one is six feet under, you will still be able to talk to them, even if the conversation might be a little one-sided.

The phone comes in a black box with a loudspeaker that is placed on top of the grave. It runs on a battery that lasts at least twelve months, and the inventor claims the sound quality is excellent.

It will, however, set you back a cool €1495. Disgruntled punters can return the phone within 18 months and get a generous €50 refund.
