Simon Petrus Invented Phone In Namibia Which Does Not Use Airtime (Photos,Video) by ebosie11(f): 5:35am On Jul 31, 2016 |
A Grade 12 learner in Namibia’s Ohagwena Region has invented a sim-less mobile phone that allows users to make free calls and watch one TV channel. Simon Petrus, a pupil at Abraham Iyambo Senior Secondary School, created the phone using spares from a phone and television set. Complete with a light bulb, fan and charger socket, the handset functions off power supplied through a radiator and is able to make calls to anywhere through the use of radio frequencies. The invention, which is made up of a radio system, is attached to a box and also allows the user to view one TV channel on it. He is also able to watch NBC1 TV on his box. No stranger to the world of creation, Petrus is reported to have won a gold medal at national level last year for his invention of a two-in-one machine that works as both a seed drier and cooler. The shy learner has admitted to working on his invention for two years through money provided by his unemployed parents. Petrus claims that he invented the phone in the hopes that it would be successful and be able to be carried further.

Nice one. Petrus will soon be offered a full scholarship to go study science in a foreign school and they would make sure he gets a good job before he graduates. Petrus will meet a 'nice' girl, get married and start having children over there. He will get all the funding he needs for his research and more. Petrus may never come to Africa again. He will be offered citizenship easily. The sad tale of many African geniuses. 458 Likes 46 Shares |

I'm still surprised at some of the comments i have been reading regarding this guy's creation ever since it reached FP. what he created is a walkie-talkie, (even though this one is bulky) and it's mostly used in the military and paramilitary. It's not an invention, that is how olden days telecommunications systems work until they decided to commercialize it, and made it more advance as we have today. It's only in the military and paramilitary that we can still find it today. They have a short range of communication and limited channels. Even as it is, he can only use it within his domain because there are stringent laws binding radio frequency allocation/usage, due to interference issues. He will need a license to operate it in a public domain. And I can see him having issues with already existing telecommunication companies if he decides to go into mass production and commercialize it. Although, I appreciate his creative mind he deserves to be commended and encouraged. 26 Likes 5 Shares |

WHAT THE FVCK IS THAT SHÌT...you call it a "phone"? If it operates on radio frequency then it's a walkie talkie and a scrappy one at that. Welp...I hope he gets a scholarship to the US and meet a nice gorgeous girl and never steps foot on the hellhole called Africa. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
