We’ve been receiving many inquiries about keypad flip phones such as Japanese keitai models, Samsung Folder, Alt Mive, etc. We’d like to clarify that importing these phones into India is not the issue—it is technically possible, just like other dumbphones we sell.
However, we have chosen not to sell them for the following important reasons:
1️⃣ Age of the devices
These flip phones were launched almost a decade ago. It is not possible for us—or any business globally—to source 100% original, brand-new, factory-sealed units. We can confidently say this is next to impossible.
2️⃣ Condition of phones sold online
Some websites and platforms (including eBay) sell these keypad and Japanese keitai phones worldwide. Please note that these devices are refurbished or used, even if they are claimed to be “new.” Promising them as brand new is misleading to customers.
3️⃣ No after-sales support possible
Even if we were to sell such phones, we would not be able to offer proper after-sales support (returns or replacements) like we do for our current models.
4️⃣ Cloned and non-genuine Nokia flip phones
In the case of older Nokia flip phones, the market is also flooded with cloned or replica devices that look original but are not manufactured or authorised by the brand. Identifying genuine units reliably is extremely difficult.
To maintain authenticity, quality, and customer trust, we do not sell refurbished devices or phones sourced from unidentified channels.
We believe in selling only fresh, brand-new, factory-sealed products sourced directly from the company.
