Mabey you would like a change from the reguliar telephone's mabey try a TIN CAN tele phone?
It might be helpful to mention that most attempts to build and use a tin can telephone fail because the string is not kept tight or the string is in contact with something between the two tin cans. When the string is loose or touches something, the vibrations cannot travel between the two tin cans. Linstrum ( talk) 03:03, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Recently I made an addition to this article which states how to make tin can telephones go around corners. Just yesterday, I noticed that my addition had been deleted leaving no explanation as to why. My assumption is that I didn't cite my sources, but there is a problem with that. I have thoroughly searched the internet for ways to make can phones go around corners but to no avail. Since I couldn't find anything, I was left to figure it out on my own which, after a long time, I finally accomplished. Sadly, since nothing on the internet has any information on how to do this, I have nothing to cite except myself. If you have a way to get around this problem I will gladly listen. I would appreciate a response in this talk page, but, if I don't get one in a reasonable amount of time, I will restore my addition and ask that you read this before deleting anything.

Unless otherwise discussed, I will retype my section the next time I have internet acess (which could be a few days). I will gladly consider any suggestions, but, as of now, there aren't any. Frivolous Consultant ( talk) 20:40, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
As I have warned earlier, if a reason for the deletion of my section wasn't given, I would restore it. I have now done so. Hopefully, this time it won't get deleted with no reason. If you are thinking about deleting it again, I ask that you discuss it here first. As I have said before, if references are a problem I don't know what to do because the only thing I have to cite is myself; I would appreciate help. If references aren't the main problem, I really want to know what could be the problem. If it's believability, try it yourself, I assure you it works.
If, after all of this, you still just think it's absolutely horrible and needs to be deleted immediately, the least you can do is tell me why and talk with me about it. To tell you in advance, if my section is deleted once again with no explanation, I won't wait at all and immediately put it back.
On a side note, I was thinking about adding a paragraph to "How it Works" (now "How the tin can telephone works" 16 Oct. 2012) saying how the string doesn't have to be pulled very tight at all to have sound be transmitted reliably. It might be nice to talk about that also, but I thought I would win one battle at a time. Once again, I assure you it works that way too, try this stuff if you don't believe me.

I have noticed that there was a [by whom?] tag added to the part I have typed much about (now responed to). I'm glad that whoever did that didn't think that it was such a waste of space that it needed to be completely deleted like the last person who revised the page. In response to the [by whom?], I don't know what to do. As I have said in the above, I sadly don't have any thing to source but myself ([by whom?], by me). People I know extremely well could probably tell you the same thing, but I know that isn't any proof. If you have a suggestion, put it on here, and I'll listen.

The result of the move request was: page not moved. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 14:50, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Tin can telephone → Acoustic telephone – Not all acoustic telephones are made from tin cans. The 'tin can' telephone is only one type of acoustic telephone, and as other forms are included the article's title should properly reflect its broader scope. HarryZilber ( talk) 14:22, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
