Mechanical Redialer

The mechanical redailer is a fully adjustable brushed stainless steel contraption that fixes itself over your phone keypad. The top of the redailer houses a similar keypad. Beneath, a series of programmable telescopic legs with rubber wellies on their feet make contact with your phone buttons. The redailer remembers which numbers you have pressed and, when one of the redial buttons is pressed, the visible legs dance over the keypad, entering the number. A protruding "hang up" foot is also available for when you get the busy signal.

The mechanical redailer has a programmable memory for up to plenty many numbers.

Also available, the slightly more complex, shiny black bakelite "human fingers" version for Humphrey Bogart-types who still rock circular dial phones.

       I'll give this a + just for the wellies and plenty many numbers.

       Plenty good.

       I suppose the wellies could be replaced for with more appropriate footwear for different regions.
