A useful SpareOne

If we told you that a new mobile phone would be appearing on the UK market this month and that all it did was make and receive calls – you might not be very impressed.

But wait! Don’t be so quick to judge!

This phone, called SpareOne, runs on a single AA battery and stays charged for about 15 years.

It has been designed by XPAL Power to be a back-up mobile phone kept in the glove compartment of a car in case of emergencies.

Imagine being stranded in the middle of nowhere and having no battery left on your mobile. No problem, if you have the SpareOne!

“It’s essentially designed to make and receive the most important calls, no matter what,” stated an XPAL Power spokesperson.

It sounds to us like this is yet another piece of very useful emergency kit to have in your car. A quick ‘will you be buying one?’ around the office makes a lot of heads nod.

We wouldn’t be surprised if breakdown companies start listing these handy mobiles as something that every motorists should have somewhere in their vehicle, just in case.

If you’re interested, the phone will be on sale in Britain on the 15th of March and will cost £60.
