BENGALURU: Here's another attempt at offering cheap smartphone -- and this time, it's really cheap. Bengaluru-based Namotel is marketing Namotel Acche Din at an insanely low price of Rs 99, calling it India's most affordable smartphone.

At a press conference, the company's promoter Madhav Reddy said that the smartphone is available for pre-booking from May 17 to May 25 on the company's website namotel.com. However, the website did not open when TOI Tech tried to book the smartphone.

Also, there's a rider for all those planning to buy the smartphone. Propspective buyers are required to register on bemybanker.com website and get a user ID and password, which is required to book the smartphone on namotel.com. For registration on bemybanker.com website, users need to pay a one-time lifetime membership fee of Rs 199.
