British climber Rod Baber has made the world’s highest phone call using a MOTORIZR Z8 no usual satellite phone on top of Mount Everest. Baber first called a special voice mail account and than made a call to his wife and children. He’d even sent a message to Moto employee which read, “One small text for man, one giant leap for mobile kind - thanks Motorola.” ha ha real funny.

 The call was made possible by a China Telecom base station 12 miles from mountain peak in line of site of the summit. The official call was made at 29,035 feet at around 5:37 am local time around 1 am London time. In temperatures of -22 degress fahrenheit you would ask how did the batteries survived, guess what Rod had taped the batteries to his body to keep them up.

 ”Everest symbolises the greatest challenge to any climber. To reach the summit and achieve world records with Motorola is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Baber from Everest Base Camp before reaching the summit, according to a statement. “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.”

Now what should we expect from Motorola ! , world’s first call from space?
