Cryptex mobile phone

Cryptex mobile phone

The whole idea of having a Mobile Phone is that it can be used in emergencies. The Cryptex phone is so complex and tough to operate that it would take atleast 4 minutes for a person to dial a number on this Phone. If you want to dial a number, you have to turn the dial of every element to the desired cipher. You have to place the numbers in such a way that the umber you want to dial is in line with the green LED. If you want to hang up the call you turn the first segment to “hang up” (red LED). The phone works without buttons and without a display and based on the old dial phones. Lucky this is only a concept phone it is not going to be release to the consumers.
