Contestants get behind the wheel for WAP experiment

By John Oates

Published: 23 June 2000 18:09 GMT

Siemens is promoting WAP technology by bringing together four complete strangers and challenging them to spend a week living in a parked car with no means of contact or sustenance other than a WAP phone and £50.

Between Monday and Friday they will be given a half hour daily reprieve from their captivity to stretch their legs and go to the toilet - the rest of the time they will have to call upon the facilities afforded them by their WAP phones.

The car will be parked in a Birmingham shopping centre and an added incentive to go the distance is that the last person to quit the experiment will get to keep the car.
