Everything you need to know about Freedom 251
Budget phones are the new trend of the year 2015 and 2016.
People get all the features at a less price onto their phones which high end smart-phones
provide. It has been amazing to watch the rate at which the market of budget
smart-phones has grown. Giving higher value for the money has flooded the
market place and giving new opportunities to various companies and organizations.
And the one such entity is “Ringing Bells
Pvt Ltd”. Established in 2015, this
Noida based company makes its product “Freedom
251” viral within an hour.
The Idea behind it, is very simple – it is to make the most cheapest and affordable phone on the planet i.e., ₹251/- thus the name Freedom 251. Their mission and vision is very clear and is to empower the citizens of the rural and semi-urban centers of India. Basically, they are targeting people of our agricultural and rural areas, So that our fishermen and farmers can enjoy the technology at a very low cost.

believe that it could come with that point of price.

Every Geek and Technomist knows that creating a smart-phone on
the price scale of 251/- is nearly impractical and unreal. Even if someone goes
to the market to buy a Micro SD Memory Card,
he/she has to pay more than 251/- and yet alone the organization is promising
to give a fully functioning Smart Phone. This is what bothering me a lot from
last few days. I have collected some information about the organization and the
product itself that makes me and you (probably) suspicious about the company.
1. They are
using Adcom Ikon 4 for the design of the mobile phone. They hide the Icon of Adcom Ikon with nail paint at the timing of branding.
2. No
Government officials are involved or no such subsidy if given by government.
3. They don’t
have BIS Certificate.
4. Started
company value was 50 lacks.
5. Their website
is created within a week on 10th of February 2016.
6. Their
payment gateway isn’t integrated onto their website; instead they are mailing
the link onto your email.
It was amazing news to hear that now every person can use the
present technology to the fullest, but what if it’s a scam. I mean even Chinese
phone are above 1000/- So, how could they make a solid phone at 1/4th
the rate of Chinese phones.
To some the “Freedom 251” is looking genuine and to some a
troll, that’s why few developer makes a parody website of “Freedom 251” in the
name of “Freedom 651. Their company is “Doesn’t Ring a Bell Pvt Ltd” which is
yet to be established.
It’s good to hear that “Make in India” is working but we won’t
tolerate “Fake in India”. This is Jagvinder Singh, Signing out.
