Spice Mobiles, one of the few Indian domestic mobile phones maker has launched the ‘Spice Dual Phone’ inbuilt with the option of two SIM cards. It has both GSM and CDMA operational features.

Two variants of Spice Dual — D-88, which supports both GSM and CDMA active connections at the same time, and D-80, which supports two GSM and GSM active connections — were launched by the company that operates mobile phone services in Karnataka and Punjab circles.

Spice Dual enables the user to make or receive calls from any SIM as well as receive and send SMS. The phone is targeted at all those who have two cell phone numbers and have been looking for the convenience of carrying just one phone.

Speaking at the launch, Kunal Ahooja, CEO, said the company had a vision to be among the top five-handset players in the Indian market. In the past two years, Spice Mobile has achieved steady growth and has gradually built a footprint across the country.

Ahooja also said the company planned to come out with a ‘Movie Phone’ with inbuilt DVD player and ‘people’s phone’ that will be priced below Rs. 1000.
