Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Itel 2167 is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,900, brand new and sealed, with a 1.77-inch QVGA screen, a 1000mAh removable battery, two SIM slots and a USB Type-C charging port. The Itel 2167 is a 2G keypad phone on the GSM 900 and 1800 bands, so it makes calls, sends texts and opens USSD menus without a data bundle. It adds a wireless FM radio, a bright torch, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, automatic call recording and a VGA rear camera. You can test one at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for people who need a phone that keeps going when the smartphone is flat, the Itel 2167 handles calls, texts and money transfers with real buttons you can press without looking. Boda boda riders keep one in a jacket pocket because it costs little to replace if it falls on the road. Market traders run one SIM for customers and the other for family. Office workers carry it as a backup during KPLC power cuts, when a large-screen phone is dead by evening. The Type-C port also means one cable can charge this handset and many newer phones in the house.
Where many Nairobi electronics shops sell keypad phones from open boxes with no paperwork, Mascom International sells the Itel 2167 sealed, with a receipt, a 12-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us they often buy two at once, one for daily use and one for a parent in the village. At KSh 1,900, the Itel 2167 sits KSh 50 below the Itel 2160 and KSh 200 above the Itel 2165 in our current Itel keypad line-up.

Common Questions About the Itel 2167
How much is the Itel 2167 in Kenya?
The Itel 2167 costs KSh 1,900, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the removable battery, a Type-C charger, the user manual and a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over the money only once the phone is in your hand. If you want to spend less, the Itel 2165 costs KSh 200 less, while the Itel 2160 costs KSh 50 more and adds a camera flash.
Can I use M-Pesa on the Itel 2167?
Yes, the Itel 2167 runs M-Pesa through the Safaricom SIM toolkit and the USSD code *334#, with no internet bundle needed. You can send money, pay a Lipa na M-Pesa till, buy airtime and check your balance straight from the keypad. Airtel Money works the same way on an Airtel line. Because the phone holds two SIMs, many buyers keep Safaricom in one slot for M-Pesa and a cheaper calling line in the other, both active at the same time.
Is the Itel 2167 or the Itel 8010 4G the better buy?
The Itel 8010 4G costs KSh 1,700 and connects to 4G networks, while the Itel 2167 costs KSh 1,900 and works on 2G only. For the extra KSh 200, the Itel 2167 gives you a confirmed list of tools: USB Type-C charging, automatic call recording, a VGA camera, Bluetooth, a bright torch and a 3.5mm jack. Pick the Itel 8010 4G if a 4G connection matters most. Pick the Itel 2167 if those everyday tools matter more. We can compare both side by side on WhatsApp.
How does automatic call recording work on the Itel 2167?
The Itel 2167 has auto call recording built into its dialler, so calls can be saved without installing anything. Once the setting is on, the phone records your conversations and keeps the audio for you to play back later. Traders use it to keep a record of orders placed by phone, and landlords use it to remember what was agreed with a tenant. Add a microSD card for extra room, and always tell the other person that the call is being recorded.
Can the Itel 2167 play FM radio without earphones?
Yes, the Itel 2167 has a wireless FM radio, which means it tunes stations without earphones plugged in to act as an aerial. You can play news, football commentary or church programmes through the loudspeaker while you work. Radio listening uses no airtime and no data, so it costs nothing beyond charging the battery. If you prefer private listening, the 3.5mm jack takes any standard wired earphones, and the radio carries on through them.
Is the Itel 2167 easy for an elderly parent to use?
The Itel 2167 suits older users because every action is a physical button press, with no touchscreen gestures to learn. Speed dial lets you set a son or daughter on one number key, so holding that key calls them directly. The bright torch helps at night when the lights are off or the path to the gate is dark. Before handing it over, save the important contacts, set up speed dial and show them how to answer a call.
Does the Itel 2167 charge with the same cable as newer phones?
Yes, the Itel 2167 uses a USB Type-C port, the same reversible connector found on most new Android phones sold in Kenya. That means a Type-C cable you already own for a smartphone or a car charger can top up this handset too. Type-C plugs fit either way up, so there is no fumbling with the cable in the dark. The box already includes a Type-C charger, so the phone is ready to use from the first day.
Who should buy the Itel 2167 and who should skip it?
The Itel 2167 is for anyone who wants calls, SMS, M-Pesa and radio on a small, simple phone that charges with Type-C. It works well as a backup line, a work handset or a gift for a relative. Skip it if you need WhatsApp, Google Maps or mobile banking apps, because this phone runs none of them. For those, the Itel A100c at KSh 8,300 or the Itel A90 at KSh 10,300, both in stock at Mascom International, are the better fit.
Technical Specifications
Display
- 1.77-inch colour screen — small enough for a shirt pocket, yet wide enough to read a full text message.
- QVGA resolution — a basic pixel count that keeps contact names, menu text and network bars clear.
- Caller name, battery level and signal strength show on the home screen at a glance.
- A small panel draws little power, which helps the 1000mAh battery stretch further between charges.
- Physical keypad below the screen — every number and menu is a button press, with no touch needed.
Processor and Software
- Runs Itel's lightweight keypad operating system — menus open quickly and there are no app updates to manage.
- No app store or background apps, so nothing runs quietly in the background draining the battery.
- Speed dial — assign a contact to a number key, then hold that key to call them.
- Auto call recording built into the dialler — calls can be saved without any extra app.
- Plain menu layout covering contacts, messages, radio, camera, torch and settings, easy to learn in one sitting.
Memory and Storage
- microSD slot takes cards up to 32GB — room for songs, call recordings and camera photos.
- A full 32GB card holds about 8,000 MP3 songs at roughly 4MB per song.
- A memory card gives call recordings plenty of space, so you rarely need to delete old ones.
- Contacts can be saved to either SIM card, so they move with you if you change handsets.
- The memory card is not included in the box; a small 4GB or 8GB card covers most users.
Camera
- VGA rear camera — a basic 0.3MP-class sensor for quick reference shots rather than social media photos.
- Best used in daylight to capture a receipt, a delivery note, a meter reading or a shop shelf.
- Photos from a VGA sensor are small files, so a memory card can hold thousands of them.
- The bright torch is a separate light, handy for finding keys or walking home at night.
- Buyers who want sharp photos should consider the Itel City 200 smartphone with its 50MP camera.
Battery and Charging
- 1000mAh removable battery — swap in a charged spare when there is no power to plug into.
- Removable design means a worn battery can be replaced later instead of replacing the whole phone.
- USB Type-C port — the reversible plug used on most new phones, so one cable can serve several devices.
- Type-C charger included in the box, ready to use straight away with any standard wall socket adapter.
- Keypad phones use far less power than touchscreen phones, so a full charge stretches across more days of use.
Connectivity
- Dual SIM dual standby — two lines stay active at once, and a call on either SIM rings the phone.
- GSM 900 and 1800 MHz — the 2G bands Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom use for voice calls and SMS.
- Bluetooth — send a contact, song or photo to another Bluetooth phone without cables.
- 3.5mm headphone jack — plug in any standard wired earphones for music, radio or hands-free calls.
- 2G only — built for calls, SMS and USSD menus, not for WhatsApp, YouTube or web browsing.
