UK gets mobile phone vending machines

James Middleton writes in vnunet.com:

The first UK vending machines selling mobile handsets are were unveiled by mobile operator Vodafone in Manchester earlier this week.

The mobile giant is reported to have put two trial QuickPhone kiosks in it branches in Manchester’s Market Street and Trafford Centre, where they will be well placed to target the city’s student population. If the trial is successful it could pave the way for future deployments in airports, train stations and motorway service stations.

At the moment, the kiosks offer SIM cards from £5 and a number of different handsets priced at between £30 and £50, which are understood to be prepay models.
