Hop-On into Europe

Hop-On Communications said Monday that its disposable cell phones will soon be for sale in Spain and the United Kingdom. The company said it has sold 1 million of its talk-and-toss phones to an unnamed European distributor. Hop-On makes cell phones that can be recycled or tossed in the trash once airtime minutes are used up. The phones are stripped-down versions of the everyday cell phone, and some can't receive incoming calls.
