The world’s largest working cell phone was on today in Pioneer Court in Chicago. The feat was achieved by wireless services provider Cricket and Samsung Telecommunications America.

Designed as a replica of a Samsung phone (pictured above), the phone was made in conjunction with Crickets launch in Chicago. The phone is approximately 15 feet long, 13 feet high and 3 feet deep. Cricket invites all Chicagoans to visit Pioneer Court and make unlimited, free phone calls and texts on the life-size Samsung through to March 15.

Has anyone been able to see this monster? It might be something I need to discuss with a therapist, but when you are talking big things with buttons; I can only see someone banging some Heart and Soul Tom Hanks style on a Walking Piano. I’d like photos please!
