I cant seem to find it on www.maplin.co.uk, however, the ones I have
seen before rely on you ringing the house phone a number of times for
a number of rings.

So you may find it will actually work from any phone, they may have
just highlighted the mobile phone to make it sound better!

From the Vellman site, http://www.velleman.be/ (search for MK160).
It appears to need to be in a dark place with a mobile handset. It
detects the screen light coming on when the phone is called...

It's discontinued by Maplin, anyway

What a stupid idea....
The tip about using your mobile as a bugging device is interesting though.
Set it to silent ring & autoanswer. Then leave in room hidden and call it up
