According to IANS, Ringing Bells’ Founder and CEO Mohit Goel has promised deliveries from June 30.
“We are ready with nearly two lakh ‘Freedom 251’ handsets. We will start delivery from June 30,” Goel said, adding that once he is done with this first phase of delivery (of two lakh phones), he will open registration again for those who wish to buy the handset.
The company had in mid-February planned to deliver 25 lakh handsets before June 30. It claimed to have received over seven crore registrations before its payment gateway crashed within three days.
