I can't get get a 4G connection in the middle of the UK so how on earth would she manage to pick up a signal in the 50's? If she managed to take some sort of portable transmission technology with her, who would she call? I think walkie talkies would be more realistic
It does look like she's holding a mobile though...edit on 21-6-2013 by fiftyfifty because: (no reason given)
I have stated this on several threads on Time travel photo's and video's in the past about communication devices.....
I am always amazed by people who always keep referring to there being no towers available at such times before towers were needed in order to be able to send messages by mobile/cell phones.....
If there are such things as time travellers, do you really think that they would need towers in order to send messages? If such technology has been developed in order to transport people back in time, do you really think that towers would be a necessity?
If people can time travel I am sure that they have developed a much better way of communicating in a far better sophisticated way that does not need towers of any nature....
I just wish people would try and think outside the box a little bit more....
