image Hop-on, Inc. will introduce its previously acclaimed Chitter-Chatter phone for the Verizon and AT&T Networks. The two new phones GSM and CDMA complete with GPS capability has been redesigned utilizing the latest technology.

“The GSM and CDMA Chitter-Chatter phone offers the latest in GPS technology for a fraction of the cost of similar phones,” says Hop-on’s President, Peter Michaels. “The phone was well received when first introduced two years ago, but due to the million dollars required for carrier approval, it was not possible to go forward at that time. We are using an OEM to produce our GPS enabled phone and are in the final stages of getting regulatory approval.” The Verizon Network has a superior tracking program which is cost effective and viable for a small phone company such as Hop-on. The New Chitter-Chatter phone will be provisioned on the Graffiti Wireless network.

The Verizon and AT&T announcement that they will allow/open phone and mobile device manufacturers to connect to their networks came just three weeks after Google unveiled its plans to release its own open mobile platforms with Android Linux-based device operating system and its Open Handset Alliance, a conglomeration of over 30 companies that hope to develop lower cost, open mobile devices. Verizon, AT&T and Google’s new strategies signal a shift in open-thinking that other communication companies are bound to follow, which will prove to be beneficial for consumers and Hop-on alike.

“This is a huge business opportunity for Hop-on, Inc. a leading developer and marketer of wireless phones and patented accessories and the foremost creator of mobile gambling technology. As one of the only remaining American cellular manufacturers, this means that Hop-on won’t have to go through the carriers’ monopoly to get a phone provisioned on the network,” Michaels stated.
