Lads, we all know saving weight and space is vital in a BOB or EDC kit but what if you want a backup backup phone that is so small it fits inside the prison pocket!
I present, the
Gravitis J8!
I am genuinely half-tempted to get it just to see what it's like. It only weighs 19 grams. Who knows, it might even be useful

Carrying it would be a right pain in the........

The roads are pretty bad and if you do end up getting stuck its hard to justify your reason for being on the roads as 'vegan mince for a feckin' princess'.

Thats sort of tempting, but not at £29
Interesting to see it has a "voice changer" - that really makes me wonder about the target market

I think you have hit the nail on the head Arzosah.
Thing is,in a real hard core BO situation,phone signals probably wont work...just a thought.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Aye, did already think it would be easier to smuggle into a prison than a normal phone.

Yeah, my thinking was more along the line of personal/local messes.

For years I used an old Nokia 3310 as a spare phone, when I was abroad I put a local sim card in it to phone taxi's etc. It was great, tiny and and worked anywhere. I 'inherited' the cheap crappy mobile I bought my dad and while I wouldn't really want to use the 'prison pocket' option

its relatively small and cost a tenner with a tenners worth of credit on it. It uses a USB charger which wins out over the old Nokia for me, and lives in my GHB along with my charging options.

I'm using a nokia I got off amazon for a fiver as my phone atm while my main one is being repaired and honestly I'm loving it. It's a great having a phone that stays charged for donkeys.

Texting is a fecker though, having to press a key 3 times to get a 'C' is a pain.
