Does the name ‘Ringing Bells’ ring a bell ? Yes, it is the same upstart phone company that promised a Rs. 251 smartphone a few months ago. The Freedom 251 was entangled in controversy ever since it went on sale in February. Launched with a price tag of Rs 251, the Freedom 251 was at the time touted as the world’s cheapest smartphone. It has since then been trumped by the equally controversial Namotel Achche Din that was was launched last month for Rs. 99.
Today, Ringing Bells sent out a press statement claiming that the Freedom 251 will start shipping from June 28 – much to the surprise of many.
The Freedom 251 was later revealed to be a re-branded Adcom phone from the Chinese phone maker with the same name. The initial batch of such devices spiked rumors about the quality and authenticity of the company.
