Samsung has launched its first Dual Standby CDMA-cum-GSM mobile phone, called 2ON in the Indian market. The USP of the Samsung 2On is its ability to integrate two SIM cards into the slots, one each for GSM and CDMA respectively.
Besides, the handset supports all service providers in India, both GSM and CDMA, including Tata Indicom and Reliance Communications Value Added services. The features of the 2ON are a 2.3-inch TFT touch-screen, 2-megapixel camera, microSD Card Slot up to 1GB and MP3/ AAC+ Player.
Sunil Dutt, Country Head, Samsung Telecommunications India Pvt. Ltd., noted “At Samsung, our endeavour is to continuously provide our consumers with innovative, consumer friendly products and the Samsung ‘2ON’ is an example of the same .This phone aims to cater to the growing Dual Stand By market, wherein discerning consumers want the convenience of a single feature rich handset with two connections operating simultaneously. The availability of this handset in the open market will provide Indian consumers freedom to select service operator’s of their choice on GSM as well as CDMA networks.”
You will also find handwriting recognition, file viewer, sketch memo, advanced organizer capability with functional screen and special India specific applications of Indian Calendar, Hinglish, Mobile Prayer and Panchang. Running on a powerful 1200 ‘mAh’ battery, the multimedia phone is good for longer talk time and extra power for operating the 2 networks.
The 2ON handset can also work as a modem and deliver access to the internet at a speed of 153kbps on CDMA network. This is an ideal phone for consumers to prefer to use the benefits of both CDMA and GSM networks at the same time, and for CDMA consumers who use international roaming cards of CDMA operators for roaming on GSM networks in countries which support only GSM services.
Samsung’s 2ON mobile phone carries a price tag of Rs 16,500 and is available nationwide.
Seems to be a nice pice.Where can I buy This in Cochin.
Hey,
This is great. Always wanted such a phone. I’d seriously consider this.
I bet you’d get maximum pan-india Network coverage due to the simultaneous GSM and CDMA network.
Great job Samsung. I hope the others will follow.

in market there is demand of dual cdma phone , plz make phone by market research , regard’s devender
Features are ggod. But price tag so high.Should be in rage of 10-12K
Using a Reliance CDMA connection and a BSNL GSM connection. Difficult to carry two separate handsets.
Hi, I have one query,
as thsi mobile can be use with Tataindicom and its a official mobile for Tataindicom then why it is not still there on Tataindicom site.
please anybody help me…
thanks
It seems to be a feature rich handset. If they ve added India specific applications like Indian calender, panchang etc, they shud know that Indian youth loves to listen FM radio as well. Since the handset has MP3 , they shud ve thot of providing FM radio as well as the cost is 16.5. Thats the only thing missing I suppose in this handset.
i would like to by the 2on samsung phone .please let me know weahter it is availbale in bangalore and address of the same

which store will i get this mobile samsung 20N in pune and at what prise
Hello, I have been for the past two weeks desparately looking for this mobile phone — Samsung 2ON — across Mumbai but no one has it or has heard of it, incl the biggest dealers. Obviously Samsung India needs to get its act together and if someone can pl inform where in Mumbai can I pick the same soon. Many thanks.
good features, nice model, but only in the picture, searching for a week in Mumbai to purcase this instrument, without mobile 2 simcards in my pocket but vendor says that “yeh model company ne bandh kar diya hai” just watch the picture and satisfy yourself, atlast I have finalised to buy Spice dual sim instrument.
hi. where can i get this mobile in jabalpur madhya pradesh. i enquired for this set and its not available even in mumbai till 22nd july 2008. pls let me know where can i find it?
i cannot connect my phone to the pc via usb cable, what may be the problem????
pls tell in which shop did this phone get in cochi
hi,
i am sweety from hyderabad,as the company stated that the cell is available nationwide but it is not so.
may i know when this will be possible to get in hyderabad.
I appreciate Samsung’s effort for launching 2ON Mobile GSM+CDM in Indian market, full of features, elegant look and above all, powerful battery back-up. I am going to buy one right now.
Further, can you tell me if Samsung is also manufacturing handsets working with Dual SIM i.e. CDMA+CDMA, but without GSM slot. In India, user can use Tata and Reliance at same time.
Looking forward to your reply per return mail.
Thanks and regards,
Parvesh Kapoor / New Delhi / India
HELLO PLEASE TELL THAT WHT IS BATTERY LIFE OF THIS SET. AND CAN I USE BOTH GSM OR BOTH CDMA SIM AT A TIME.
PLEASE ARRAGE THE FM FASILITY TO THIS MOBILE WITH SMALL MODIFICATIONS LIKE GOOD LOOKING AND ATTRACTIVE PL ……….
Hey 2ON is really inspiring as there are very limited options of good feature reach mobile in CDMA section. That is the USP of 2ON.
Can you tell me whether is it available in Kochi, Kerala
Any contact no. of Address of the Dealer?
I am not finding this set available with any of the dealers in Ludhiana. Is it launched or not? No dealer tell anything about its availability. Should I wait for it or I should leave the hope of getting such handset!!!!
i want to buy samsung dual simmobile so pleasegive me the prices
Samsung 2on- I have been using this set from July. it has a battery life of one day. simultaneously u can use both cdma and gsm cards. when u get two simultaneous calls from two networks, it displays both the calls and asks ur permission to accept which call. nice. but it doesn’t have a in built browser for gsm card and reliance doesn’t allow u to browse in the phone hence its a waste regarding browsing. alternatively u can use tata indicome UIM card to browse. ring tones doesn’t work well: pairing with computer and other mobiles becomes problematic some times. MP3 player hangs on and off: Not worth for the cost:
I am using the 2ON dual SIM handset for almost 4 months with Relance CDMA & Vodafone GSM network. It is a great feature rich phone. I picked it up for Rs. 14,100 from a Samsung authorised dist. in Bombay. It DOES NOT have flash for camera & FM radio which I would have really liked for this type & price of phone. Stretch & zoom feature for photos is really great (like IPHONE). Samsung needs to enhance the micro-SD card capacity to beyond 1GB which is so essential for audio, video & photo storage capacity.
The only problem that I encounter with the phone is that at times when the connectivity with CDMA breaks, the phone cannot seem to reconnect and you have to switch off & on the phone to reboot. Software is great & very userfriendly. Does not hang (unlike recent Nokia’s). Backlit screen display is very crisp, sharp & bright. Love the touch phone feature.
All-in-all; very satisfied & would recommend it.
Samsung, just reduce the price to make it more reasonable & affordable.
features are good. but price of phone is very high it should be 6000-7000rs.
I would like to know that what is the phone book capacity and wht is the battery capacity. Can we used Airtel and Vodafone sim card same time.
Please reply,
Saanjay B.
HALO
