The disposable phone is finally making its way to the UK, courtesy of retailer Phones 4 U. The £10 moby created by Californian company Hop-On has been available across the pond since 2002.
With no LCD screen, the Hop1900 is great for those who want to do nothing more than make calls.
The cheap phone could also be a great way to avoid roaming charges if you purchase a pay-as-you-go version abroad.
The insides include chip sets from Texas Instruments and Infineon.

Phone Book: 100 entries
