    Fascinating theory but I am not convinced it's a mobile phone she is holding at all.
    It looks as though the woman is fiddling with a hearing aid or scatching her face. She seems in a confused state because she appears to be talking to herself.

    Beisdes who is she calling, Ghostbusters? ;)

    Watch it again and then say in a Harry Hill voice...:
    " Steve Jobs grandfather wanders onto Charlie Chaplin film set in drag with early iphone prototype" :D:D:D

    "It's not an AM/FM radio because obviously it's 1928."


    So obviously it's a time traveller with a mobile phone.

    A lip reader may catch a couple of words,if they are 'Call ya La...'~~~Then she's probably talking to herself. :D

    I wear a hearing aid and when I'm adjusting it I tend to talk too to get it at the right level, so she could be doing that.

    It just looks like the film's been tampered with.

    I'm sure that's easy to do in this digital age.

    Why shouldn't there be? After all, isn't there a fair number of people who believe in the teachings of all manner of cults? To be honest, time-travel is a far more feasible story than those will ever be.

    It's a fake probably. If not, then the 'time traveller' would have a hell of a job getting reception or anyone to chat to :D

    I saw a programme on this a few years ago. Some very intelligent knowledgable people in whatever branch of science time travel falls under were saying that it is possible. Something about time going round in a big loop, not stretching away in a line into the horizon, and blah blah blah. You can probably tell I'm not a scientist:o They seemed to think that it would be a case of only going forward or back a few seconds at first.

    As far as this clip is concerned though, I think people see it as a mobile because that's what we're used to seeing. I saw an oldish lady holding her hand up to her face (maybe camera shy) and talking to the man in front of her.

    So why would someone with that technology go back to an old obscure B&W film and speak into a phone that nobody would be able to answer?

    What should be of concern to us all, is that the time traveler has obviously altered the timeline, and it needs to be corrected.

    We are in the wrong timeline so any "correction" means that we will "cease to be". My children! My poor poor children.

    School trip to the 20s maybe? Whose to say it's a phone anyway, perhaps, like I said above, it's just a communication device and she's saying "Shit, there's bloody camera here. Get me out"!

    As somebody has added to the video, it's a hearing aid!

    Sub-minature vacuum tubes were available.

    (I can remember going to the national gallery, and being surprised to "see" WW2 bombers in paintings from around 1600 .........)

    I think it may be my mother, she will go anywhere for a day out.

    On second thoughts perhaps not as she has never learnt how to answer her mobile phone, or indeed find it.

    Love the comments of the Youtube poster - he doesn't have a clue what it is, ergo it's a time traveller on a mobile phone.

    Occam's razor ya tube!
