Dead woman buried with cellphone allegedly sends texts to husband

how she texts? zombies.

Although it's a sad story, the user comment was pretty funny. How can a cell phone stay powered after that many years?? Creepy...

I just heard a female robot voice say 'bobdobolina' on national TV. I can go home now.

Why would you want to be buried with your cellphone?

It's not like the ringtones get any better.

Leave him alone, weather its facts/science, or a flying spagetti monster, or dead people calling, people need a crutch.

Sounds like a Japanese Horror film. Haha.

If that's true, that's the best cell reception and battery life I've ever heard of for a cell phone! Would love to see the phone bill too...

dang, imagine that. she's dead already and the wife is still constantly nagging.

fine question, lifestudent. John McCain has obviously passed the dead wife SMS threshold, as has Hillary. I question whether Obama has, though...

It's 3 A.M. and the phone is ringing... Who's going to answer your dead wife's call?

alright, so the phone company should be able have records of these alleged texts and calls. as weird as it would be for this to be true, it is most likely someone still grieving or looking for few minutes in the spot light...maybe a combo of both...or even more strange...using this situation to gain both.

KLENGA: lol...that's a funny idea, that it's a pre-paid plan.. that would mean he's paying for her to haunt him..

A cell phone battery cannot last that long. It is obviously someone messing with the poor guy, which is even more sick and twisted than if the texts were actually coming from the grave (which is pretty much impossible).

Looks like those immortal spirits are getting a bit more tech-savvy when it comes to haunting people these days. This is a look at the 21st century widower. Poor guy; he needs help.

The real question is why this woman wanted to be buried with her cell phone. Anyone who loves their phone that much has a problem!

I'm surprised the service provider hasn't been mentioned yet. This could turn out to be a great advertising campaign!

Why has nobody ever thought to dig her up and check?

I think I agree with Neghie

okay, let's just suspend all reality for a second, and ASSUME this woman is texting her family and stuff, and that yes, the batter CAN last 10 to 15 years.. but, what about phone service? did this widow husband really not cancel her phone service in the 5 years she's been gone? and if there's no number..why does it matter if she was buried with her cell? she's not using her cell to text them, or her old number would appear...

i just think these guys are getting random texts meant for someone else (since there is no number and they never say the texts were meant for them) and they're thinking it's from their late mom/wife..

it IS a creepy thought, none the less...

It amazes me how she can gets coverage all the way down there when I can't even get any in my house.

Well... hasn't anyone thought to dig her up? I mean isn't that the point of being buried with your Cell Phone?

Too weird. I agree with notcaleb. Why is this news.

No matter how you slice it, it's just plain creepy.

Um, perhaps the grave diggers took the phone once no one was looking. Those people steal caskets. It's not unbelievable to be think that two of them are sitting in a room laughing they're heads off.

Incoming text message: I'm hngry. Make my favr8 sndwch n put it on my grve 2nite.

Maybe someone was just dying to make a call?

why this story is condidered news is beyond me.

I think this shows someone that misses his wife so much that he never wants to let her go. He needs something to think or remember her because the love of his life was taken from him. And i know that that would be the hardest thing to cope with. Let him get calls from his dead wife. Even if it isn't true, he has something to lean on...

I think it's viral marketing for another remake of an Asian horror film. If the guy starts receiving photos of her, and she clambers out of his phone, we know what's going on.

Sounds like normal cell phone bugs if you ask me. Poor man is grieving the loss of his loved ones, and grasping at straws. Or he just wanted to make the news....

Potential marketing scheme?

What about this cellphone battery? Is it eternal?

Woah, weird, and it bring a new meaning to the phrase "the line's gone dead".

This widower needs to pray.
