Hop-on Releases Upgraded Anti-iPhone for $13.99
IRVINE, Calif., /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hop-on, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HPNN - News) today announces that its GSM cell phone, the HOP1811, will be available in the United States for $13.99 with a Graffiti Wireless (TM) Airtime Plan. It will also be available worldwide with special incentives for Carriers. One of the new breed of ultra-convenient cell phones, the pre-paid HOP1811 is ideal as a backup cell phone when traveling abroad or for anyone looking for a super-affordable cell phone that does its thing extremely well -- making and receiving phone calls and text messages!
"I use a 3G iPhone, it is a complicated, expensive device. Our phone is an 850/1900 MHz with AMR. You are not going to drop calls in similar areas as our competitor's device. I challenge anyone to make a call faster than on the HOP1811," says Hop-on CEO Peter Michaels. "With the cost of living and a borderline recession, this phone is going to be a huge sell for Hop-on in the US and international commerce. We also have a European 900/1800 MHz phone for our international partners. Again, Hop-on is moving forward with innovative, cost-effective, huge demand products," Michaels said.
The HOP1811 is a dual-band 850/1900MHz, or 900/1800MHz phone for Europe and Asia, weighing a scant 79 grams, offers 4 hours of talk time, 150 hours of standby time and polyphonic ring tones. Though low in cost, the HOP1811 uses reliable Infineon chip sets for excellent audio quality, reception and call stability. An MP3 option can also be added to this low-end phone.
At a $13.99 price point in the US at retail and convenience stores, the HOP1811 could be considered disposable, but the company offers a $5 rebate for returning the phone to encourage recycling to "Keep it Green." This phone is perfect for AT&T and T-Mobile master agents, and 40 other US carriers, and many other worldwide carriers.
Co-Branding Opportunities
The HOP1811 is now available to retailers such as drug and convenience stores, big box retailers and businesses looking for a unique branding opportunity. Hop-on can imprint sports teams or corporate logos on the HOP1811, making it one of the most unique -- and useful -- premiums available. "Instead of another coffee mug, offering a branded cell phone is a memorable branding opportunity that will literally keep you in touch with your customers. What could be better for companies such as investment banking firms to give to their customers, so they can call in and ask, 'How's my 401(k)?'" adds Michaels.
