"Nobody can give me an explanation," is the theme song of the True Believer™. It translates as, "I won't accept any reasonable explanation."
​
A better explanation than "time traveller" would be "crazy lady who thinks she has a mobile phone".

... I think you can tell that there's something there and it looks like they're talking into it, especially after they turn towards the camera and their hand starts moving downward.
People seeing the video in the 60s would have said she was holding a "transistor radio".
​
The only time I see her talking is when she turns to say, "Hello," to somebody off-camera to her left.

She's wearing clothing corresponds with the time she's in (1920's). If she was a time traveler using a cell phone, what time frame does (s)he come from?
It's Buzsaw logic. Everything about "the future" (wooo-eee-ooo) points to today.

Okay, suppose I want to travel backwards in time from 2010 to 1920. I make sure my cellphone is charged, I get into my time machine and I press the "Reverse" button. The widgets and whirligigs bend space-time until my reference frame is right beside the reference frames of those people in Charlie Chaplin's film. Then I press "Stop".
​
Now, how do I transfer myself from my reference frame to theirs so I show up on their film?

Why does it have to be a cell phone that required cell towers? Is cell phone that required cell towers as advanced as we will ever get with wireless technology?
If it's that far advanced beyond our cellphone technology, why assume that it's a cellphone at all? Maybe it's a clone-o-matic or a pocket starship.
