Is phone actually ‘disposable” or not? It’s sold w. rechgable batt. and when 60 min. used, you can apparently buy more cred. w. prepaid mobicarte…so wondering if it is actually disposable.(note: “Picasso” in comments says you can always add more pre-paid minutes.)

Also, says it’s “ready to go”, but then in fine print under details, says “clients must identify themselves to Orange agent”….what does that mean- ie. “register” the phone? Is it actually a 2-step process- buy but then can’t use till show up at an Orange store?

Start holding companies to task for creating such trash? Disposables everythings should not be tolerated anymore, and I am sorry to say that it may require regulation, because people are stupid enough to want a single use cell phone or a single use razor or a single use whathaveyou. We should be finding ways to DISCOURAGE companies from making and people from wanting things like this, not extolling their virtues.

Thanks Bic for making more waste in the world. The packaging alone looks like 2 lbs of unopenable plastic.

thankfully, this phone will add to our mounting environmental garbage dump heaps and probably contribute to our global warming and the end of human existence on Earth once and for all!
