Credit Card-Sized Cellphones

The cPhone is Designed to Increase Productivity and Simplicity

— November 9, 2015 — Tech
The modern consumer finds themselves checking their smartphone constantly thanks to unstoppable notifications and the habit to be always online, but the cPhone is here to help save users from their devices by offering them a simplistic means of connectivity. Able to be used by itself or in addition to your existing technology, the cPhone is a credit card-sized device that will only allow you to make or receive calls; no Facebook notifications or iMessages on this bad boy.

The cPhone features a microSD slot to be used for music, so you won't have to ditch all the comforts of your traditional device. Able to be paired with call forwarding, the cPhone will enable you to leave your smartphone at home or the office without having to worry about anything unless you get an actual phone call (which might turn out to be rarer than you think).
