STORY SUMMARY:
It seems most of us are constantly striving to get the very smallest cell phones possible; however,
that was definitely not the case when the world’s largest working cell phone - measuring 15 feet wide
by 13 feet tall – was unveiled. The gigantic working cell phone, traveling across the country starting
this month, was made available to the public for free, unlimited phone calls or texts.
The device has service provided by Cricket and is a working replica of a Samsung Messenger phone.
