Grapes launches QWERTY key pad phone with two dual-SIM options

Unitron Exim Pvt. Ltd., the brand owners of Grapes range of attractive and feature-rich mobile phones available at affordable prices today announced the launch and availability of Grapes CG 888, India’s first QWERTY key pad phone that comes with two dual SIM options – CDMA + GSM or GSM + GSM. This essentially means that besides a GSM SIM (900/1800 MHz) in one of the two available SIM slots, users have the option of inserting either a GSM SIM (900/1800 MHz) or CDMA SIM (800 MHz) in the second SIM slot.
