The name says it all. The Spartan Cell Phone from hop-on will only cost you $10. This cell phone is for the frugal at heart. No display, no bells and whistles, just a plain old keypad to make your calls with.
I think there is a growing number of consumers out there that just want to make a phone call. They're not worried about chatting online, receiving emails, or taking pictures. They just want a simple device that they can call home with. I personally, the last time I purchased a cell phone I looked for the most basic device I could find so this is something I'll surely look at a little deeper.
Go see one at hop-on.
Here are the basics of this unit:
Size: 96.6mm(D)x41.6mm(W)x14mm(H)
