As well as cranking out biros and razors, Bic can now add mobile phones to is list of cheap products, thanks to this pre-paid handset made in partnership with Orange.
Actually, its innards are made by Alcatel, but the outside is all Bic’s own work.
It’ll arrive with 10 minutes worth of credit, is fully charged straight out of the box, and even packs an FM radio.
Unlike other “disposable” phones, it’s also got a screen to handle text messages, and if you want to add more credit, you just need to register it.
Out in September, it’ll hit France first, but could soon find its way to the UK.
Out September | £38 | Orange
