World's Largest Cell Phone Unveiled in Chicago

Mar 11 2009, 10:00am CDT | by Shane McGlaun

The world's largest working cell phone will be unveiled in Chicago today at Fidelity plaza downtown. Not only can those in the area venture out to see the massive cell phone unveiled for its record-setting attempt, but it actually works and you can make free phone calls and send free text messages.

The device is a replica of the Samsung Messager phone (pictured) and was built as part of Cricket's launch in Chicago. The phone measures 15 feet wide by 13 feet tall.

That is a big cell phone for sure; perhaps my wife would be unable to lose one that big. Cricket is a budget cellular service requiring no contracts or credit checks and all plans have unlimited minutes.
