The Light Phone

The invention of smart phones are making our lives easy but equally they are also taking too much of our precious time for a lot of unnecessary things. If you've ever wondered if we could go back to the old days where mobile phones were just for calls, then the answer is yes.

In our current world where phones are getting smarter and smarter. A new Kickstarter hopes to bring back the simplicity of the old days. They call it "The Light Phone".

The light phone gives you the simplicity of calls only without any apps which keeps you unfocused.

Why would anyone want to buy such a device?

Well, Its creators say the idea is that this credit card-sized phone is attractive and it seamlessly forwards calls from your smartphone over to it. Creating that moment when you want to get away from distractions and “focus on the moment” but still create an opportunity for family and friends to reach you in case of an emergency.

How does it Work?

The Light Phone is a pre-paid GSM phone that works independently of your carrier. It comes with a SIM card and an app to use with your current smartphone. The app allows you to forward calls from your current device to it thereby creating an extension of your other phone.

The attractive basic phone that has 20 day battery life and can be used in situations when you want to “get away from it all”, while not completely going off the grid. At $100, the Light Phone is arguably rather expensive for what you get for a simplistic device.

This Kickstarter need $200,000 to make this project a success. Tell us what you think of "The Light Phone". Would you pick one up when its launched? Tell us what you think. For more information head to the official Kickstarter page.
