RePhone lets you turn anything into a phone

RePhone is a DIY kit that lets you turn almost anything into a working, functioning phone. It is actually a tiny circuit board with a SIM slot and an optional screen that also supports Bluetooth.

There’s also a version that includes a little case and all the modules. It’s just like getting a tiny unlocked phone for under $50.

According to a report by TechCrunch, this is an experimental project but it works just fine. The report further reveals that it includes programming libraries in Arduino IDE, Lua and Javascript that allows you to connect the phone to the web and even IFTTT.
