As stated, for emergencies. A tiny phone like that in your glove box could be helpful, you just need to keep it charged. The FM radio is a nice touch, too.
 

Some people use phones to make phone calls.

Cheap deals like that, on pay as you go, are fairly common in the UK. An FM radio as well seems to be a good deal.

That doesn't look like a 5 pound phone. Maybe 4 ounces, but no more than that.

That's basically a disposable phone. Pretty amazing that a cell phone can cost less than a ticket for a 2-hour movie.
