A mobile phone that gets 15 years of battery life?
No SIM card is needed and it works in extreme temperatures?
I'm talking SpareOne.
The SpareOne phone is a great gadget to kick off 2013. It's a smartphone to use in emergencies, or when you need a spare. A good idea would be to keep a spare two or three in your family.
SpareOne was honored as Best of Innovation at CES 2013 this week. It received this honor for being the world’s only mobile phone powered by a single AA battery.
The SpareOne Plus features a location-based cell ID service. This location-based service identifies the exact location of the cell ID. The phone also has an audible numeric feedback that reads both the number dialed and incoming call number. Both the SpareOne and the SpareOne Plus are made to be an ultimate safety and communication devices. If stored with the plastic tab inserted and in the off positions the SpareOne has up to 15 years of battery life. It has 10 hours of talk time when in use. There is a TorchLight on top which provides 24 hours of continuous light. It has a dedicated 911 button that works without a SIM card. There is the ability to set 9 speed dial numbers.
It includes an re-sealable waterproof bag with a humidity-proof seal. You can operate the phone through the bag. The bag floats and allows the phone to be operated in extreme temperature from–22 degree F to 140 degree F. The phone can be submerged in the bag to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes and still work.
You don't even need a call phone carrier to use if you are only going to keep it for emergencies.
Both the original SpareOne and the SpareOne Plus are designed to work without a cell phone carrier. You simply insert a SIM card with some credit on it and start making calls. It is an unlocked phone so it can accept any SIM card. There is even a micro SIM adapter so you can insert an iOS SIM.
The SpareOne is available now for $99.99 at the SpareOne website. The SpareOnePlus will be available in early 2013, keep checking back at www.spareone.com.
There are two versions available one for the Americas and one for Europe/Asia/Oceania.
SpareOne has been recognized for design and innovation by Popular Mechanics, Entrepreneur Magazine and PC Magazine among others.
