Have you ever been in a hurry to attend a meeting in time and forgot your phone at home, or your phone died out of battery when you are expecting an important call?

Another piece of application is here to make sure you don’t go without communication if this happens to you again. The new app is rightly called Hotel My Phone.

It works by cloning your phone and letting you temporarily borrow a friend or someone’s phone with the same app to make calls and text with your own number. Once checked in to the borrowed phone, you can see your own contacts, and communicate with your contacts from the app on the borrowed phone. Once you check out of the app, your information is permanently erased and the app will let you know this too.

Hotel My Phone promises this on their website “Whether you forgot your phone or have a dead battery, it doesn’t matter! Have the added insurance of your spouse’s phone or your best friends’. Stay in contact with your closest friends, now that you are all on Hotel My Phone, you’ll never miss a message or call!”

This sounds all good, but you must know there are some charges to pay if you want to do some specific things like making a call, which depends on the location you are checked into. There are also costs for checking in to phones that are not on your network that you can build within the app.

Conclusion: Claiming to be the first phone sharing app, we at The Computer Potato think Hotel My Phone is an innovation that will be well received and will take off as more companies look into the idea and come up with better ways of making this great idea even more useful than it is right now.
