Probably be better if you went for a patent if you have invented something "worth millions", copyright is only for the written word.  Oh, your spelling is not quite right!!

As said before, get it patented.

Copyright is only for the written word, and you can't actually register copyright, it just works automatically. With a patent you have written proof that it is your idea

It's a box that attaches to your door and reads your home insurance policy to check its paid up before it lets you in when its raining heavily in the North.  It'll be patented as Rachman's Friend.

Ha, its a pohone with no texts (or if texts come through they are spoken) there is one button to answer.  No voicemail pic messages etc.  To make a call they press teh one button and they can connect to a operator who then asks who they want to talke to:-

OAP: Hell, I want to talk to my son
Operator: ok, at work, home or mobile

Then they connect.  Charge say £50 to connect, the system would be an ericksoon phone system like these large corporates use.  

This idea will get done one day, sadly it would cost so much to set up.

my nan is shocking at using her mobile, i think she gave up in the end. this would probably work to some extent.

Quote from: "Bushey Boy"

OAP: Hello, I want to talk to my son.
that made me laugh for some reason, just the idea of a granny calling an operator and saying that

Yeah my mums the same and shes only 60! Had to take voice mail off as she couldnt answer it in time!

It would work and the Pensioner market is the biggest one in the world!

Everybody's thought of that idea though, I think they might have even invented something similar already.
