What is needed, to best exploit available technology, is a scaled-up version of Virgil Tracy, Brains, Parker or Lady Penelope. Lip movement, in the same style as in the original Supermarionation, would be synced to the sound coming through the phone. |

As a bonus, text messages and satnav instruction could be read out in the corresponding character's voice - "At the hurroundhabout, take the second hexit, m'lady." |
