24 May 08 $10 HOP1800 phone from Hop-On

Hop-On’s disposable cell phones have already made it to the European market and it was only a matter of time before they made an appearance stateside. Well, it’s here now and it’s dirt cheap. $10 will get you the display-less, 77-gram HOP1800 which will work on over 40 US GSM carriers including the likes of Cingular, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Hop-On’s Graffiti Wireless. In addition to this, Hop-On offers a rebate of $5 on the cell phones returned for recycling. The front of the phone has a tactile numeric keypad with Braille markings and the missing display is replaced by what seems like a speakerphone. With its 600 mAh Li-ion battery, the HOP1800 is able to provide up to 4 hours of talk time and 150 hours of standby.

Go ahead and grab one at your nearest convenience store if you are looking for a cheap or a temporary alternative for your calling needs.
