Verizon, AT&T and Sprint to Limit Sales of Cellphone Location Data

Have your calls forwarded to a service you can answer from your computer. Securely strap your phone to the back of an outdoor cat. Be sure to set a strong passcode so the cat can't use the phone. To keep the phone charged, invent a charger that can convert the kinetic energy of the cat's attempts at walking away from the phone. Use the money earned from your invention to buy more phones.

You could harvest the energy to charge the phone from a perpetually rotating cat by strapping a piece of buttered toast to its back.

I believe this method is patented and isn’t due to expire for another 12 years.
