Meet Sgnl, a bracelet that allows us to make phone calls with just a finger. Yes, you read that right. The special bracelet offers a revolutionary way of communication.

It also has a built-in bracelet microphone, which sends the sound in the other direction, i.e. in the direction of the interlocutor, button to answer and end calls and side volume buttons.
