The Hop-On $10 Anti-iPhone launches today

Started by Ewan · 1 year ago

The chaps at Hop-On have launched their $10 Anti-iPhone GSM handset.

    @ Simon
    That was exactly my first thought. I know my number and I know my mom's cell phone number because she has had the same number for 12+ years. The concept for this product is good, but all I could do is order a pizza in 1998 - 216.524.4444

    I think the clue is that it is not a replacement but as the guy say's "a perfect iPhone traveling companion" meaning you refer to your principal device for whatever you need...I am assuming? Bit overly cumbersome in that department for me. Might suit OAP's and suchlike (seriously) who have the numbers written in a book a can call someone when on they go on hols that kinda thing...but what do I know!! In the U.S. could be big but can't see it elsewhere
