A vone was a communication technology used by the people of Sto.
On board a cruise of the spaceship replica of the Titanic in the 2000s,[nb 1] Rickston Slade used his vone to buy and sell shares. Foon and Morvin Van Hoff won tickets for the same cruise in a competition which Foon dialled the line for 5,000 times. This led to Foon hiding the 5,000 credit vone bill from Morvin for months. (TV: Voyage of the Damned [+]Loading...["Voyage of the Damned (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The BBC iPlayer subtitles for Voyage of the Damned [+]Loading...{"timestamp":"4:55 and 28:51","ed":"iPlayer","1":"Voyage of the Damned (TV story)"} consistently use vone to describe the device the people of Sto use to send and receive calls, and both Gray O'Brien and Debbie Chazen pronounce the word that way.
- Similar to Vot being close to the word for God in the context it was used, a vone is evidently a type of Sto mobile phone.
- In the same way, the time tourists who visited the Dalek Dome in Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"] used a device called a fone.
- Similar to Vot being close to the word for God in the context it was used, a vone is evidently a type of Sto mobile phone.
