Certaphone

Certaphone was a Cobaltian mobile phone company.

Pre-formation, 2004
In January 2004, two 17 year old teenagers, Daniel Certe and Tyler Aphley decided to create a phone company. They worked on it for two and a half years and had to drop out of school. Eventually, they successfully made what would be a prototype for the Certaphone A1.

Founding, 2007
Daniel and Tyler eventually made a performance at the Holloway Springs Convention Center in July 2006 about the phone, and would eventually trade mark it in October. It eventually began being sold at in February 2007, which marked the founding of the company.

Controversy
Ever since Dan Certe and Tyler Aphley stepped down as CEOs of the company in 2015, the support and interface decreased horribly within three years. It got so bad that 3/4 of its management team got laid off. This eventually caused both Daniel and Tyler to leave the company entirely for Coarola in 2020.

In May 2023, the Wilson Today newspaper ranted on Certaphone for its terrible UI and extremely low battery life. It later gained a massive surge in hate upon many people around the globe. theR reporter Fay Clark claimed the interface as "sloppy", the battery life as "crappy" and support as "annoying and rude". Fay also stated that older devices made before 2013 would most likely become bricked if newer updates were to be installed. In addition, Spottie Idylwide did a walkthrough on a Certaphone D1 and gave a report on his blog, The Big Apple, stating:

"The interface was all disgusting, as I couldn't read the text properly. The battery life was unbelievably dipshit. It was decreasing every half-second. I feel like it's unusable with this battery life. Even a VHS camcorder manufactered in the 80s from the US can hold more juice. It also felt really choppy just to begin with, as it got to the point that it started to hurt my fingers. To conclude: Certaphone is fucking dogshit and you shouldn't buy it."

Following this, Certaphone terminated all shipment to all countries on Terranil except for Cobalt, the Republic of Goiky and the Republic of Bio. When asked about this, founder Tyler Aphley stated: "I never thought a company Dan and I founded as some edgy teens would go downhill ever since we stepped down in 2015".

Disestablishment
On September 27, 2023, Wilsonian-based television network G4 partnered with the Republic of Wilson Investigation Office to expose that the fact that Certaphone used child labor in their factories. The documentary would be broadcasted on G4, [rand0m] and SBS on September 30th. This would put the nail in the coffin as Certaphone would go out of business the day after. Following its closure, the Republic of Wilson Investigation Office seized the company's website domain and trademark.
