Abstract
A voice-activated mobile phone in the form of jewelry includes a necklace element for suspending the phone around the neck of a user, a phone element being a part of the necklace and a pendant hanging from the necklace. The phone element is voice activated so that a user can send and receive calls without having to physically manipulate the phone. The phone element may be disguised as a part of the necklace by virtue of a fancifully designed cover that fits over the phone portion of the device.
