A writing device 11 has a body member 12 and a carrier such as a mobile phone 13. The carrier has a conventional socket 14 whereby the phone 13 can be connected to an external device such as earphones. The socket 14 includes holding means for demountably retaining a plug. The body member 12 has first and second ends 15, 16, each end having a configuration whereby the end when inserted in the socket 14 is demountably retained by the holding means. The first end 15 has a writing means 17 and in a first housed configuration the first end 15 of the body member 12 is demountably retained in the socket 14 and the second end 16 is exposed remote from the carrier 13. In a second working configuration the second end 16 of the body member 12 is demountably retained in the socket 14 and the first end 15 is exposed remote from the carrier 13 to enable the body member 12, in combination with the carrier 13, to function as a writing means.
