Nice sales pitch but not likely. A properly installed door does not leave

Right...and leave it charging and make sure it has continuos signal in a
bunker and make sure the kids don't take it and when they change providers,
remember that phone which has been hidden in the basement for the last 10
years. Your expecting alot Robert.
