The Secret Second Mobile Phone
from the for-secret-stuff dept
I've heard people from mobile phone companies such as Nokia talking about the need to convince people to buy multiple mobile phones. Perhaps all they need is for more people to start having affairs. It turns out that nearly one in 10 mobile phone users has a second mobile phone - which they often use for "secret" purposes, such as an affair or secret business dealings. Of course, if you're using the secret phone for an affair, I imagine that causes problems when that phone suddenly starts ringing while you're with the significant other who doesn't know about the phone.
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.

Bookies often have multiple phones and also want to be able to record conversations at the touch of the button for later bet verification.
