What's 'Japanese handis'? Googled it but couldn't find anything on it.
- mc32 8y agoSorry short for personal handy phone system or PHS, also known locally as keitai[1] [1]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_mobile_phone_culture https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_mobile_phone_cultur...
- pasbesoin 8y agoIn Germany, a mobile phone is called a "handy" (or, Handy, as it's a noun). I'm extrapolating that that term (beyond a German context, or maybe the commenter is German) is being used, here.
- mc32 8y agoTo get to the point, I think it was the systems that had a "2 in 1" with two PINs and you could unlock your "second phone" with the second pin and then make and receive calls from this hidden second number. Burner numbers I guess have replaced that need though.
