MAKERphone 2.0 is a fully functional 4G mobile phone that arrives as a box of parts. You assemble it yourself in about two hours, with no soldering and no prior experience needed; insert a nano-SIM, and it makes real voice calls and sends real SMS on live cellular networks. Then you program it, starting by describing ideas in plain English and progressing to MicroPython and Arduino C++.
It is made by CircuitMess, a Croatian educational electronics company, and launched on Kickstarter on 10 September 2026 with a 30-day campaign closing on 10 October. Early pledge tiers start around $129, and the kit is expected to retail near $169, with backer deliveries estimated for Q3 2027.
