Nokia on Thursday announced the launch of its most affordable Nokia 101 dual SIM music and Nokia 100 single SIM phones in India, priced at Rs.1,699 and Rs.1,399, respectively. To be made available in the next few weeks, the feature-rich new handsets are aimed at first-time users who are price conscious and seek simplicity in their mobile phones.

“We are constantly strengthening our entry portfolio with feature rich and durable mobile phones which offer consumers great value for money. When paired with powerful and locally relevant services such as Nokia Life Tools and Nokia Money, these phones offer a unique experience that is simply unmatched in India at these price points,” said Nokia India Director (Sales) V. Ramnath.

Nokia has tied with mobile operator Bharti Airtel providing 100 minutes of free Airtel-to-Airtel talktime for the first month for those buying these two new handsets. Besides, customers will also get 400 national and local SMS free every month.
