History

The company was founded by Freddie Figgers in 2009 and is also the CEO of the company.[2] Figgers is an inventor who designed banking security applications, remote patient monitoring system, and other programs.[3] Figgers financed the telecommunications company.[4] In 2010, the company acquired its first cell phone tower.[5][6]

Figgers F1

In 2014, the company launched a smart phone called Figgers F1.[7] The phone detects motion in a vehicle and at speeds of 10 miles per hour or more it automatically turns to ‘safe mode’, which prevents texting while driving.[8]

Since then, the company has launched more phones; its most current model is the Figgers F3.
