MOTOZ8~Highest Mobile Phone Call record


A British climber has set a new world record for making a GSM call from the highest point on earth. Rod Baber made the call on Monday 21st May 2007, at 29,035 feet / 8848 meters on the highest peak of Mount Everest saying "Its cold, it's fantastic, and the Himalayas are everywhere." He also sent a text message from the summit, using his MOTO Z8 GSM mobile handset.

T he world's highest peak now receives mobile phone coverage due to a phone mast installed by China Telecom at the base camp in Rongbuk. However, Baber had to carry the phone's battery beneath his clothes to keep it warm enough to function in the -30ยบ temperatures. The phone call was made to a special voicemail account and his text was sent to John Barlow of Motorola Inc.

Baber said, "Everest symbolizes the greatest challenge to any climber. To reach the summit and achieve world records with Motorola is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My MOTO Z8 has totally enhanced the experience up here, giving me the added confidence and peace of mind to know that friends, family and even help were just a phone call away."

During the call, Rod described the view, his feelings and what he would do once he was back down at base camp. His second call was to his wife and two children.
