mobile phones with the dead

A mobile twist on the old buried-alive theme: some Irish youth prefer to be buried with their phones.

"Some other people may be terrified they'll wake up in the coffin, so they take along a mobile to ring for help to get them out," he said. However, certain rules would apply, including making sure the mobile is switched off or on silent before it accompanies the deceased.

[Andrew Connell]

Can one even get a cell signal inside a box (and/or a concrete vault) under two plus meters of earth?

[Bryan]

It would be about the same quality as signals we receive in Vermont, right on the surface!
