Isn't the provision of services (or not) on basis of age alone illegal in the UK now?

The flaw in the business strictly is not in the target group but in the value proposition. Low income groups are extremely desirable for certain companies: cf. the tobacco industry; McDonald's advertising around schools in low income areas in the US and associated court case(s) but also any lottery.
The value proposition (free calls and SMS) needs to be coupled with cross and upselling opportunities for which the target group is more than happy to open its wallet. If the group thinks it is getting a bargain in one area, it is more likely to believe it is getting a bargain in all areas: the principle behind loss-leading in supermarkets.

provided they don't accidentally txt the fuzz
maybe these phones are actually being provided by the secret service in order to track the whereabouts and behaviour of the youff
wonder if there is any data usage provisioned too, could be a new file-sharing movement.
Coke, McDonalds, Ford etc VS RIAA MPAA etc
Seriously, how long before someone writes a filesharing app for winmob/symbian?
