::A telephone - even upgraded with a possibly Gallifreyan universal roaming chip (assuming the Doctor didn't just buy a job lot of them from a market stall on Manussa or something one day, on the off-chance that he'd end up travelling with some twenty-first century 'phone addicts) is still a vastly more primitive piece of equipment than a space/time machine, and - unlike a TARDIS - isn't specifically designed to navigate ''through'' that altered space. Your phone would work equally well on a boat sailing on a sea of marmite, but the boat wouldn't. Similarly, you could probably power a crude electric kettle designed for 230V AC on 120V if you had the appropriate foreign plug adaptor, albeit sluggishly, but an advanced electronic device would experience far more problems. | ::A telephone - even upgraded with a possibly Gallifreyan universal roaming chip (assuming the Doctor didn't just buy a job lot of them from a market stall on Manussa or something one day, on the off-chance that he'd end up travelling with some twenty-first century 'phone addicts) is still a vastly more primitive piece of equipment than a space/time machine, and - unlike a TARDIS - isn't specifically designed to navigate ''through'' that altered space.

* First of February? Doesn't look like it. The predictable response is that, in this parallel universe, the months are altered. Yeah... so why does no one think anything about this? None of the trio care or notice, and if the months are different, that suggests a huge list of massive ramifications between this universe and ours which ultimately must be contradictory in ways impossible.
