   Sadly...

   Sadly, I remember seeing this company touted in internal presentations at my company about how this represented a branding opportunity for us to give away cheap, disposable phones with out company logo on them and how we should support this company... :-(

   Why Can't Someone Else?

   Why can't another company do this? It seems like such a great idea! Or is the tech just not there yet?

   I've read that making a cell phone under $100 is not currently feasible, and not expected to be any time soon.
   
   It may be a good thing though -- imagine the potential for fraud, crime with disposable cell phones. Telemarketers from hell.

   the hop-on saga

   i was intrigued by the thought of a disposable phone..........tried to buy one..........got the runaround for the better part of 3 years, and now i read this..............it seemed like a scam.......the picture of their "corporate headquarters" in suite 110 was the iceing on the cake..........2 million phones to india...........and in the end all they seem to have sold was a few phones at a walgreens store in garden grove california..............having said that, it still would have been interesting to see one in person

   I actually ordered a Hop-On from the Walgreens store in Gargen Grove! Guess what? ... it doesn't work.
   That's why they call it disposable, I guess.

   Hop on cell phones

   What a pity that people cheat and steal, and can't use their own ideas. Hop on phones sounded really good, but all along I thought something wasn't right. The company kept advertising that they were supplying phones all over the wordl except one problem, they hadn't been introduced first in the United States. They kept changing the date that they would be offered in the United States. I wouldn't even consider purchasing a hop on phone if another company took over. THis has burned me.

   Well, "Lou", you may want to consider that "Larry" had a valid point, in that the company as a whole is as totally bogus as their "storefront" in Dallas, TX.
   I know, as I work in the same building, just across the hall as a matter of fact. They were kicked out months ago after all of their staffers cleaned out their offices and hit the trail. But then, maybe you were an investor? Or maybe just someone without literacy beyond words with four letters?

   Susan or other people who know about this company I am interested to know more. Does the company still exist? Where are they now? Is their internet Site correct with the new headquarters?

    Seems to be lots of frustraion with Hop On. I worked with them several years ago in Dallas on new cell phone designs and they ordered lots of parts from us. Has anything happened since the supposed reorg last year? Did they just rip thier investors off?

    I purchased a wireless unit for my nokia phone. Not only didnt it work, their site was useless. When you type something (a model number) in the search feature nothing happens. I mean NOTHING...like the search feature is disconnected.

    I remember when the stock was hpon.pk, I invested some money in them and lost it all. I didn't know they changed there stock name to hpnn.pk I guess they are still scamming people thinking this is a real company.
