Vodafone unveiled its first ultra-low cost consumer handsets, the Vodafone 125 and Vodafone 225. The new devices are branded with Vodafone logo and are manufactured by the Chinese ZTE Corporation.

The idea behind this Vodafone's move is to "mobilize people" in developing countries where the cost of purchasing a mobile handset can be one of the key barriers to accessing mobile services. You shouldn't expect much of the features here — only the basic phone functionality, competitively priced. According to Vodafone, new phones will retail at around $25-$45 depending on the specific model and the local market conditions. Vodafone Egypt, Vodafone Romania and Vodacom (South Africa) will be the first countries to launch the Vodafone 125 and 225 handsets in the next few weeks.
