The Hop-On 1800 series brings new GSM phones to the market at prices ranging from $10 to $125, and includes the world’s cheapest model, Hop1800, a prepaid disposable model featuring dual-band support, 4 hours talk time, 150 hours standby, polyphonic ringtones support, vibration, and measures just 96.6 x 41.6 x 14 mm at 77 grams.

"Our new series of 1800 phones will debut into all markets worldwide,” said Peter Michaels, President and CEO of Hop-on. “We will have market presence throughout the globe with our high-end technology PDA phone to our low end phone that is, well, that is really just a phone. Since the announcement of our $10USD ' Anti iPhone', we have had inquiries from distributors and carriers from over 30 countries."

Now, with the releasing of other new models, the Anti-iPhone has brothers and sisters to backup it.

"Since Apple is launching their new 3G iPhone next Monday, maybe I can talk to Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and see if he'll buy our $10 phone and include it as a giveaway in their packaging,” added Peter Michaels. “This way, if you drop your 3G iPhone in the water, you can use the backup to call Apple for another $500 phone. They can call it the Back-up iPhone! Seriously, the launch of our new phones is an exciting time for Hop-on; we will penetrate the market worldwide in all price points. We look forward to this next phase of our new innovative phones."
