Hello
back again with latest hi tech news on the controversial cheapest smart phone
of the world from the beginning.
Ringing Bells the most talked and famous android mobile company which offered Freedom 251 at the lowest ever price for INR 251 last month, is again flashing in the latest hi tech news. This Noida based company is again in huge trouble as another handset manufacturer “Adcom” has come up with charges on Ringing Bells that the latter company used their mobile and sell them at INR 251. They find it a clear attack on the brand image of the company.
Last
week, Ringing Bells made an official announcement to refund all the advance
pre-booking payment to customers. To build up the image of Ringing Bells, the
marketing team at the company suggested to provide Freedom 251 handsets only at
COD payment option. Therefore, this step seems Ringing Bell’s dedicating effort
towards making trust among customers, as per ABP News.
Moreover,
Adcom founder, Mr. Sanjeev Bhatia is ready to take a legal action against
Ringing Bells to resell their phone which was bought at 3,600 INR at the
cheapest price of INR 251 only.
When
asked from the president of Ringing Bells about using Adcom handsets, he said
that it was already told in media that the company is using Adcom handsets as
samples. But soon, once the company would have sufficient amount of Freedom 251
handsets, they will only deliver their own smartphones to customers.
Check out complete
statement given by Adcom chairman, Mr. Sanjeev Bhatia here:
While speculation is
rife regarding the legitimacy of our occupying the premises we operate
from, i.e. our
Corporate Office at B-44, Sector 63, Noida 201301 in Uttar Pradesh, we
wish
to make it clear
that the current dispute regarding the nature of business conducted at
the
property is between
Noida authority and our landlord. It is our humble request not to drag
us in any
controversy.
On Adcom's role, We
would like to clarify that they provided some prototypes for the sample
Freedom- 251 handed to some special guests including media for initial
impression about
the way phone would
look and behave in future. We have other partners for assembly of
our phones. We are
happy to share their names on special requests!
The launch of the
world's most affordable and the cheapest smartphone Freedom 251 for a price of
Rs. 251 by Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd. has set the world by fire, with the common
man rejoicing even in the midst of some unfavourable controversy. Citing heavy
demand, we
have now announced
that we are no longer taking bookings on Freedom 251.
It also requested
that our sudden rise be not misconstrued as a fly-by-night operation.
The company has
already instructed the Payment Gateway to refund the few online
payments that came
in on the first pre-booking 18/2 date. The mode of payment now will
be only Cash on
Delivery. The orders placed by the customers are not cancelled but the payment
will be taken only on delivery. Ringing Bells hopes to begin deliveries of
Freedom 251 by
around end of April.
Just as we have been
taking due diligence to issues and matter brought forth to the management of
Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd.; we would continue to investigate and respond
with due diligence.
Rest assured the matter would be taken up with utmost sincerity and necessary
action will be initiated according to the requirement. The negative impact some
reports carried, has activated a comprehensive emergency response. Battling
mistrust
and facing severe
criticism, the company would never scuttle its idea.
