Dragons Fight Over Inventor's Nuisance Phone Call 'Zapper' | Dragons’ Den

And say “I’m out”

@Hudson Jaxxon you bots ain’t slick

Who has a landline in 2020 ?

@@fritzov Millions have one as part of their internet package .

Offices, hotels, shops etc.

fritzov almost every business in the world has at least one.

@@Dave062YT yeah but you dont need to plug in a handset :p

This seems to always be most important part. Businessman with proven track record

Also he'll be investing his own money so less risk and money to reinvest

Money, money, money!

super mario yes cos peter has bought the guy like livestock

Same reason potential employers hire the person with a great resume versus the guy with no resume.

I mean, they were interested before; just not entirely as a separate unit. But I have to play devil's advocate here (based on other comments) and highlight that often the turnaround comes not because the pitcher is "rich", but because by saying they sold previous businesses for millions, they've demonstrated that they can build a successful business by themselves. So essentially the dragons hear, "You won't have to do much for me, just make profit based on your investment".

@bunkey That's a tangential point. Accurate, but not related to what I said.

You could almost see the dragons drooling over this.

Im sorry you are poor brah

@@drewb1263 I'm not sorry

Lol

Agreed, I respected him going with his gut and risking singling out Peter

And then it was never seen again......amazing.

He didn't he wanted 10% benchmark 🤣

The dragons were offended they just hid it well

He works twenty years as call operator. Thats just his thing

That would have been great to say in the pitch.. "With this device you can choose whatever handset you like" Fortunately it turned out well anyway 😊

Thanks for good news! I agree - as someone who has been bothered by nuisance calls through several generations of landline and mobile technology, I would have gone for the separate device. One long life product, fit for a specific purpose, beats all-in-one's, where I can rarely be bothered finding and programming the "features". I've heard that most people never even set the date on their DVD players, TV's, phones, etc (before the internet did it for us). Glad to hear it did well after this, and also that the phone manufacturers adopted it.

Jenny never called?

Then don.t write your number on every lamppost

@@justincase9888 How else is my wife going to get "clients"?

Of course he's going to ask for more out of someone who's been grilled, more risk means they want more of a share to make the risk worth it

I’ve got one on bt landline am guessing it’s the same product, went from nuisance calls daily to never having one again

David thats it?

Home phone what is it the 1980’s😜

dread true no u r just too old to want to change

Aaron K u have a phone line for ur WiFi 😂

dread true I think u would agree most people have WiFi So it’s right to assume

Its the concept of "proven success", its increases the trust that the individual has the capability of making the business successful.

Tonight...... you.....

You get a like from me simply for the name and profile picture. xD I'm still trying to spot the ever elusive Dirtfoot in the wild... The hunt continues!!

He would have made the best dragon if he stayed on the show.

James khan* 😂😂😂

Obviously, he is Pakistani

@@ArbazKhan-df3vt try to Google that! Hope it helps you with 👉😂

yeah, he was awesome in Rollerball

He looks like every cast member of Phoenix Nights merged into one, which is lovely and Lanc

He was very strategic and it just shows that he will only trust a business if Peter Jones is willing to put his money in. If Peter Jones pulled out of the opportunity Duncan would have less faith in the business. Duncan knows that Peter Jones is the go-to dragon for tech products.

I'm guessing around 1988 if they think a plug in box with two wires is "neat", not to mention the "executive" phone.

Sounded like 2009 from the future projections he was making.

I've often hoped for that. I often google the companies that have got investments, and it would be interesting to know the time line from investment date

@@ShadowLynx777 Exactly, in 1988, the guy was 12! LOL!!!

@@Harrylechat01 lol 1988? 😂😂 does this look like camera quality from 1988...

These are old episodes you think they'd upload current ones to youtube? No one would watch them on TV if they did that. I am not sure how old most episodes are but safe to say most recent ones are from 2014-2015ish.

Once smartphone manufacturers actually make the sound and connection quality of calls any good, landlines will likely disappear altogether.

True. The only monstrosity nowadays is Jenny

Paul Lambert also making mobiles functional everywhere, at the moment you can too easily have sites where there are low or no signal. Landlines do still fill an important whole in the market

@@paullambert8701 Sound quality on mobiles is excellent. In my flat, I have broadband, but no telephone plugged in, and have no TV. I just watch everything on my phone and my computer. No need for a landline phone or TV in the 21st Century.

2005 Wifi did not exist. Phones did not have option of wireless connection Home use broadband/internet connection required telephone connection connected to broadband router! So you either didn't have a internet router at home in 2005 or you lying!

@@originalunoriginal4055 what are you on about? im talking about a landline phone being plugged in, not the connection being there. thought that was obvious on a video talking about nuisance phone calls on landline phones lol

Smaug never stood a chance.

How did you work for him?

Cool. Let's put him in the White House.

Soon the machines will takeover...

... and over exaggerated to get clicks

The market has indeed reduced drastically but you'd be surprised how many people still have landlines in many countries. And specially companies still use landlines all the time, everywhere.

@Eddie Turbine doesn't seem like it. My assumption is that it's not impacted, because the caller has the option to give their name, as opposed to it being extracted without consent.

@Eddie Turbine I'm not sure if it matters when the telemarketers are based in somewhere like India, which is often what happens now. I believe that's the loophole a lot of them use.

Did the investment go through?

It's a good product, but my phone, which is a Pixel (a several years old Pixel at that), comes with this tech, so he may run into viability issues if Google is adding this onto their phones by default.

@Eddie Turbine The problem is that scam/spam/nuisance callers spoof local numbers to get through, and it's a really huge problem where I am. I'm on the Do Not Call Register and it makes no difference, because the calls come from Indian call centres and there is too much volume for local authorities to deal with it. My phone flags these suspicious calls and I block them, but most people I know get one a week.

No it's more like a third party stepping in to stop scammers from calling you.

@@Marsalien100 Still a terrible product lol

What use is Caller ID unless you know the number of every single person, organisation and company who might call you and whose call you would be willing to accept? Hardly any use at all. You see the number, you don't recognise it, but you might still want to accept it - it might be your dentist, it might be a tradesman whom you've contacted for a quote, it might be a friend calling to let you know they have a new number, it could be any number of legitimate callers.
