Whatever Happened To The Disposable Mobile Phone?

In summer of 2009 Orange and BIC, the 2 companies had teamed together and brought to Spain the BIC Phone, a mobile one can buy in a tobacco store, a stationary shop, a petrol or gas station, or a supermarket, together with your bread and tomatoes.

It functions on a pre-paid card, and is available from July, of 2009, in Spain, at the price of € 29, which comes to you with €12 worth of free calls, ready to be used the moment you bought it, as they are sold with that balance of €12 and with the battery fully charged.

My first thought was, why they advertise it as 'disposable'? No reason to chuck it out once you have used up the €12, or whatever amount you put in this pre-paid card, right?? Unless they are self destructive? In any case, why was nothing more heard about it??
