Disposable Cell Phones
from the call-and-dump dept
Get ready for disposable cell phones. For approximately $20 you may soon be able to buy a cell phone that will allow you to talk for an hour, before you throw it away. They're hoping to sell them in places you wouldn't normally get a cell phone - such as a fast food chain. Of course, I guess they're only for outgoing calls, since how many people are you going to give out a 60 minute telephone number to?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

short lifespan phoine number
Might be quite useful actually. How many time have you given your phone number to a girl only to then start wondering "what if she turns out to be a total psycho? AND she has my home phone number". Having a phone number which 'expires' after a certain length of time could be quite handy - giving you a short while to figure out if giving out your *real* number is a good idea or not :o)

Re: Pissed Off
No one stole the idea. I've had lots of other ideas that I've seen manifest, some I've spoken to others about, some I didnt. Some of my ideas I've even found out someone else thought of long before me. While you may think your thoughts are unique, they arent. People with simular knowledge bases will come to simular conclusions about things, which means they will also come up with some of the same solutions to problems, or come up with the same ideas for new technology.
Spewing out 'they stole my idea' makes ya sound like a petty sissy. Next time you have an idea, keep yer mouth shut and follow thru with the idea.
I personally think the idea of disposable cell phones is sickening. I'm not an eco-freak, but for christ's sakes, are you that fucken unorganized in your life that you need a fucken disposable cell phone??? Why not sell the phones and then buy time on them like everyone else? Can we really say that a disposable cell phone is good resource management in this age of green this and green that?

Re: Pissed Off
Actually, disposable cell phones will do extremely well. Think about the people with horrible credit. They can still be connected. I am buying some stock!
P.S. That guy talking about "fuck you," and "that was mine," is a whiner. Would you like some cheese with that wine?

Re: Disposable Cell Phones
Her company is Dieceland Technologies, web site is "dtcproducts.com". I cannot locate any investor information and have concluded that it is not a publicly traded company.
Good luck.

Re: Disposable Cell Phones
her company's name. I want to buy some stock in that company !!! She just may be the
next "Bill Gates without all the headaches" as she put it. Mark my words, these things
are going to sell, especially to those that don't already have a cell phone or don't want a contract and/or the monthly expense.

The people who make the Cell Phones should be responsible for taking them back again. It's not right to make a profit on the backs of the rest of America.
