Disposable Mobile Phone.
I’m a two-time loser with mobile phones. I’m not safe when driving and talking and never seem to use the minutes. But it would be nice have one if I needed it. The Hop-on cell phone might be what I’m after.
“This unique cell phone comes with 60 minutes of prepaid calling time, with no contracts, long-distance charges or other fees. It’s easy to use, and when the minutes are used up, you can add more minutes, return the phone to Hop-on for a $5 rebate certificate, or simply discard it.” I’m there.
