A drunk text filter was a popular request.

A survey of 2,000 phone-owners discovered what the true ‘dream phone’ would feature.

Sought-after features included having a celebrity on speed dial and being able to charge wirelessly from anywhere.

People also wanted a drunk text filter as well as an uncrackable screen - these people obviously like a good oul night out!

More than a quarter want their phone to automatically go through their photos and delete duplicates.

While half of participants want a universal caller ID.

Another dream feature would be having a social media lock that kicks in after too much scrolling.

The research by Tesco Mobile found only 39% currently own their ‘dream’ phone.

The most common barriers to having the phone of dreams was money and being stuck in a contract.

It also found that two thirds of adults ‘couldn’t live’ without their mobile.

And people spend 55 minutes a week, on average, talking on their phone.

Here's the top ten list according to swns digital:

  1.   Tell you who’s calling – even if you don’t recognise the number
  2. An uncrackable screen
  3. Charge wirelessly from anywhere
  4.  Allow you to get things, like food shopping, cheaper
  5. Automatically reject any phone contract price hikes
  6. Automatically sort through images to delete duplicates
  7. Gift leftover data to a charity of your choice
  8. Have a ‘drunk text’ filter – so you can’t send drunk texts
  9. Lock social media access if you’ve scrolled for too long
  10. Let you FaceTime someone famous
