The $0.99 Cellphones!

by

newsmy-c100-2

Don’t look now, but these are probably the cheapest cellphones you can find. So cheap, they only cost $0.99. And if these gadgets look like toys to you…it’s because it is! These are cellphones made for little girls.

But the thing is, these gadgets actually work!

The Newsmy C100 cellphone is a China-made gadget that is targeted for the youngest female market. What I said about the phone actually working is no joke. It comes with GSM 900/1800 MHz frequency bands, as well as an English and Chinese setting.

This handset includes the following features:

  • 1.5-inch TFT display with a resolution
  • 176 x 132 pixels
  • 65K colors
  • 100 phonebook entries for storage
  • 75 hours of talk time
  • 180 minutes in standby mode
  • Parental controls
  • Currency converter
  • Alarm clock and calculator
  • Call Waiting
  • Caller ID
  • Ring tone settings

You can pretty much tell from these features alone that it is really a practical buy for $0.99!

Newsmy C100 is also easy to carry, especially with little girly hands. The phone only weighs 48 grams and measures at 102 x 46 x 12 mm.

Now as for durability — that we don’t know. But obviously, this one should last your little girl’s whims, until the next time she decides you get her a new and better cellphone.

It is available for purchase at Light In The Box.

From Haicheng Yu, Director of International Business -  Newsmy:

“We are very excited to have this opportunity to let more global customers know about Newsmy products via LightInTheBox’s online shopping platform.

Newsmy has been the No.1 selling brand in digital media players and mobile phones in China for four consecutive years now. LightInTheBox unveils our products to the end users outside of China directly, which cannot be achieved easily by traditional global trading. This is very meaningful to Newsmy, a well-known Chinese brand yet a newcomer to the rest of the world. The event will bring global customers to us directly, let them feel, experience and enjoy our products.”

From Kevin Wen, Light In The Box Co Founder:

“One of our missions is to bring to the world the best Chinese products available. Newsmy is clearly amongst the best of Chinese brands, and we are very committed to playing the part in spreading this message across the globe.

We also hope the $0.99-deal of trendy Chinese MP3 players and mobile phones could bring to people a pleasant surprise for Christmas after a long year of global recession. A Merry Christmas to all of our customers!”
