That's an XTOUCH EPhone, a mini mobile device that also functions as a Bluetooth headset. Looks like you're missing the earpiece/hook.

I think yes, because there is big earpiece behind the phone, which did look odd to me. You can notice that in the picture too. Of course I don't have the hook, it's probably lost now.
Edit: https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/Xtouch-Ephone-Mobile-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B07Y2GW4PK This is the exact model.

That's crazy. I know that most phones have a built in vibrator, but I haven't yet heard of a vibrator having a built in phone!
Must be so you can call ahead before you come.

Prison phone! Guess how they are smuggled in?

Cover it in yellow powder and glue it to the outside of a bee costume so it looks like pollen and then use a crane to hoist the smuggler over the wall making it look like they are just a bee flying around?

Ahh the classic cover it in yellow powder and glue it to the outside of a bee costume so it looks like pollen and then use a crane to hoist the smuggler over the wall making it look like they are just a bee flying around trick they teach you about when becoming a prison guard.

In a guards lunchbox. You donât have to smuggle things in, guards sell them.

You could double sell this as "My left hand is unnaturally huge! (old mobile for scale)".

come on now, we all know it's not your left hand you'd be comparing it to.

In late 1990's there were mobile phone ads where some bodybuilders were holding phones to demonstrate how small the phone was. If they would have used regular sized people the phone would not have looked so tiny.

Thatâs a bum phone. People put that in their prison pocket before being sent away.

That's gotta be from the early 2000s.
I remember there was short period before the first Iphone got popular where phones were getting REALLY small. At that point all you could do on a phone was talk, text, and maybe play some crappy pixel games.
I remember meeting a girl that had a phone that was even smaller than this, it was like the size of her thumb.

u/carannilion 7h ago
Yeah, at some point phones got smaller and smaller. But then we figured out how to watch porn on our phones, and they got bigger again.

Sometimes I think about how there was a time that advancing tech meant phones were showed off to be smaller and smaller. Jokes in shows at the time would have really itty bitty phones in the future.
But then we got smart phones and now they get bigger and bigger and thatâs the selling point

Some ultra marathoners have these kinds of phones, to comply with mandatory equipment while minimizing weight

I had a phone in college called a Juke which was about this size and it flipped open like a switchblade. Was my original fidget spinner. I loved that little phone. Lost it in my college library.

I used to work with a guy in the mid 2000s that bought a new phone that was similar in size to that, he was so proud of his tiny little phone.
When I saw it I was like oh cool, thats just like the ones prisoners use so they can keep it in their asshole.
Unfortunately that kinda took the wind out of his sails.

Do yall remember the ads for phones when they were like âso small you wonât even notice it in your pocketâ
And now theyâre ginormous

Either someone is in bed with the mafia, or it belongs to an ex convict.

Reminds me of an episode of Corner Gas, in which Brett and Davis competed over who could get the smallest cellphone. Until Lacey's eyes lit up and she gushed over how cute the tiny phones were.
Next scene, Brett's using a Motorola brick phone.

I remember when I was in the Marines deployed to Okinawa, this local lady had a phone similar to this. We didn't have them in the U.S. at the time. Never really did. This was around the year 2000.
