It certainly could be a small cell phone or simply some one pretending to have one even though it doesnt exist.

What better way to mess with the future than to pretend to have technology that doesnt exist.


Old women make great time-travellers.


so, you're saying that someone travelled back to 1928, built a cell phone network (a single phone wouldn't really be any use - who would you call?), and then accidentally walked onto the set?

sacre bleu!

Or it could be something as simple as what I say to people talking on their bluetooth.

Spoiler:

Me: I love my bluetooth headset.
Guy-on-bluetooth: *grunt*
Me: It used to be, you'd see someone walking down the street talking to themselves, you knew they were crazy. Now a days though, people just think I'm on my bluetooth.

You're nuts. I have half a mind to beam me over to you and shoot you with my pain ray gun to teach you a lesson.

People on their land line phones? I don't know about your country, but in mine we cell phone users are allowed to communicate with the regular phone users, and vice versa ;-P

The main problem is that a cellphone without aerials and all that stuff is useless. :D

Not in the future, and it prolly wasn't a cellphone but a Universal Personal Communication Device from year 3000 or so.

Believe me, it's all part of the big conspiration.

One of the things I always found amusing on the new Who series is that if you had the right number, you COULD call the TARDIS on your cell phone.

Liberty's Edge

It looks to me like she could be holding the collar of her coat (or maybe a scarf) up against her ear, as if trying to keep the wind off her face.

I didn't recall a phone on the TARDIS, just the ones the Doctor set with 'Universal Roaming'

In 'The Sontaran Stratagem' Martha calls her cell phone, which she left with the Doctor for just that reason.

The Ninth Doctor modified Roses Tyler's cell phone so that she could call home with it. He found the missing Earth (and 36 other missing planets) when when the Torchwood transmission device tied together every cell phone on the planet with the Mr Smith AI and made a global call to the TARDIS. (at that point the Tenth Doctor was in his solo period)

One can assume that there has always been at least one phone, behind the door labeled "Police Telephone Free for Use of Public." "Logopolis" and "The Empty Child" are two stories that spring to mind as actually showing it. (The specific "Logopolis" photo I linked actually shows the Master's TARDIS, but you also see the phone later in the "TARDIS within a TARDIS" scene. (It's not supposed to work... but sometimes it does.)

This phone is on the main console for Doctors 9 and 10.

The Exchange

If you look closely she is not holding her collar up. Her hand is empty so no cell phone. What she is doing is most likely hiding her face. They were filming and in her way she walked past with her hand in front her face so they didnt catch her and just kept walking. Nothing lost, they do not have to pay her as an extra.

Looks cool though.

Old series Dr. Who and I do believe it was the 3rd DR. had a Phone in the Tardis. The 4th does as well. Not to mention all the "gigery-poo" done by the DR. in the 9th with the cells phones.
