A grieving widower claims to have been receiving calls and text messages from beyond the grave. Frank Jones, whose wife Sadie died five years ago, says he has been plagued by SMS messages and missed calls since she was buried—her beloved cellphone in the coffin beside her.

This widower needs to pray.

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

What about this cellphone battery? Is it eternal?
-
Potential marketing scheme?

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....
-
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.

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...

why this story is condidered news is beyond me.

Maybe someone was just dying to make a call?

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. -
this just shows how far we've potentially progressed as a society in premature burial preventative technology Gone are the days of elaborate cantilever-and-pulley signalling systems.
With the lack of exposure to light and harsh atmospheric elements, it's quite plausible that a cell phone battery could last up to 10-15 years in a coffin... -
No matter how you slice it, it's just plain creepy.
-
Too weird. I agree with notcaleb. Why is this news.

Well... hasn't anyone thought to dig her up? I mean isn't that the point of being buried with your Cell Phone?
-
It amazes me how she can gets coverage all the way down there when I can't even get any in my house.
-
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... -
Why has nobody ever thought to dig her up and check?
I think I agree with Neghie -
Unless it's some kind of sick fraud.
I hope and is probebly not though.
They should dig her up andd check her out though, but I know, It seems terribleand disrespectful to dig someone up and do that.
To the man, I'm sorry for your loss, I've lost two freinds this year. I the space of less than a month. -
I'm surprised the service provider hasn't been mentioned yet. This could turn out to be a great advertising campaign!
-
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!

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.
-
benzzy, it's probably a prepaid plan... or maybe a text-message version of this fine service -
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).
-
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..
-
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.

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

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

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...

Sounds like a Japanese Horror film. Haha.

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

Why would you want to be buried with your cellphone?
It's not like the ringtones get any better.-

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

how she texts? zombies.
