Mobile phone operator Vodafone has launched what it says is the "lowest-cost mobile phone on Earth".
The Vodafone 150, unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, will sell for "below $15" (£10) and is aimed at the developing world.
It will initially be launched in India, Turkey and eight African countries including Lesotho, Kenya and Ghana.
The UN predicts that mobile ownership will reach 5bn in 2010, with most growth in the developing world.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) said that demand was being driven by people using their phones to access banking and mobile health services.
