Hop-on released the HOP 1800, a $10 unlocked GSM phone, claimed as the lowest-cost one on the market. It is available for purchase at this price without signing a contract, making it an affordable option for a back-up or spare phone. It has two versions: one for the U.S. (850/1900 MHz) and one for the European (900/1800 MHz) GSM networks.
Of course, the low cost has a price itself. The device lacks a display, but the manufacturer claims that the numeric keypad, the sound quality and reception are very good. The battery should provide up to 5 hours of talk time and the weight is only 2.71 oz (77 grams).
The HOP1800 is now available to retailers such as drug and convenience stores and big box retailers. To encourage recycling the phone after you stop using it, Hop-on offers $5 rebate for returning it under the “Keep it Green” slogan. The funny thing about the company is that it advertises the phone as “Anti-iPhone”, as they have nothing in common.
