The UK's leading mobile ringtones and mobile games company, Mobile Fun, has come out with a new burial service for old mobile phones.

Customers can post their old phones to Mobile Fun Limited and for a small fee the old phones will be taken and buried at Russia’s Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (KMA), the biggest and strongest magnetic anomaly in the world because of an astronomical amount of iron ore underground, very close to the surface.

Even compasses do not work in the KMA. Mobile Fun has signed a short-term contract with local company KMABS Inc. based in Stariy Oscol.

"We are happy to expand our budding mobile phone burial service internationally with the invaluable help of Mobile Fun Ltd," said the CEO of KMABS Inc.

Russia has taken to mobile phones in a big way and is leading other countries in more unusual mobile phone services and products. That’s not the end to this wonderful service. For an additional amount your old mobile phone can send a final farewell SMS text message from Russia to your new mobile.

"The reason we selected the world's biggest magnetic anomaly is not just for environmental reasons to minimise the potential electromagnetic radiation impact of a large number of mobile phones buried in one location", said Ruslan G Fedorovsky, Mobile Funs newly-appointed Head of Mobile.

According to him, there also is an interesting, although controversial idea increasing in popularity amongst Russian mobile phone users that over time, some personal electromagnetic 'zen' becomes trapped inside old mobile phones.

"I am positive that huge magnetic radiation of KMA will be strong enough to release any trapped electromagnetic subconscious psyche," said Andrey Koltakov, the Russian radio-advertising tycoon and popular women’s lifestyle guru who claims to be behind this strange new-age belief.
