Is the Olive Dual Sim Mobile any good?

[Rite_Rebel]

Was looking for a decent dual sim mobile phone and was checking out the market offerings for a budget around 2 to 4 k. Came across a few vendors like micro max ,karbonn and olive. After prospecting and nitpicking found out that the Olive Wiz dual sim mobile is suits my needs pretty much. The only thing i am not sure of is how good are olive mobile phones in terms of quality and all. Any ideas?

Those are a bunch of rebranded Huawei & ZTE phones.

I seriously doubt if they confirm to SAR guidelines.

Kapil Dev sir is the brand ambassador for Olive tel guys...

But I agree... they are cheap chinese rebrands...

@Rite_Rebel,

Not much difference between Olive and Micromax phones quality (they both suck). if it fits your needs, get it.

Cheers!

nah! dont go for olive. post your requirements here and forum members will get you the best match in your budget.

Well depends on what your requirements are...In case you are looking for a second mobile phone, the Olive Wiz makes a decent bet. However as the forum members duly point out there might be downers in doing so. So i would say there is a pinch of salt here but then in terms from a value for money perspective it's not that bad. Rest up to you

I can personally vouch for Nokia C3. At 5k, it is excellent value for money...

Samsung C3212 Dual Sim Active (Dual active mean if you are talking using sim1 & if at same time someone trying to call you on sim2 than he/she will get busy tone or "user is busy message"
If phone is dual sim but not dual active than in above condition, caller of sim2 will get "phone switch off" message or "nothing")

Samsung Chat 322 Dual Sim Standby

Samsung E2152 Dual Sim Standby

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

SAMSUNG e2152 is also Dual Sim Active.

[pulkitpopli2004]

that the person you are tryin is not reachable

 

[Rockstar11]

^ means
No missed call alert?

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

nopes buddy.. none of the samsung dual sim mobile has this feature AFAIK

 

[Rockstar11]

^ this feature is in Samsung C3212 Dual Sim Active!

Samsung C3212 is best dual sim phone because it is true dual sim.
If you taking with sim1, you can receive calls from sim2. No other dual sim phone gives this facility.
