A dependable everyday handset that older relatives and young students pick up quickly.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Mascom International stocks the Tecno T303 at KSh 2,200, a classic keypad phone with dual SIM slots, a removable battery and a charger in the box. Each unit is brand new and sealed, and Tecno's handset carries a 12-month warranty from our Nairobi CBD shop. The Tecno T303 covers what a basic phone must do well: clear calls, quick texts and USSD menus for mobile money and airtime. You will find it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, where you can hold it, press the keys and make a test call before paying.
Built for families across Kenya, the Tecno T303 is the phone people buy for someone else. Grown children working in Nairobi send it to a mother in Kakamega or a father in Nyeri who finds touchscreens confusing. Parents hand it to a Grade 6 learner who needs to call home after school without the distraction of TikTok and games. In both cases the problem is the same: a smartphone is too fiddly, too fragile or too tempting. The Tecno T303 solves it with big physical keys, simple menus and nothing to install, update or sign into.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell keypad phones without receipts, Mascom International gives every Tecno T303 buyer a written warranty and a counter to come back to. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a keypad handset becomes the family's lifeline when KPLC cuts power for a long stretch and smartphones go flat. We also deliver pay-on-arrival, so you can order from Mombasa for a relative in Eldoret and they pay when it arrives, or you pay on their behalf by M-Pesa. Ask us on WhatsApp to send a short video of the Tecno T303 working.
Common Questions About the Tecno T303
What is the Tecno T303 price in Kenya?
The Tecno T303 sells for KSh 2,200 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the handset, a removable battery, a charger and a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. You can collect it in store or order delivery and pay on arrival. The Tecno T102 costs KSh 150 less at KSh 2,050, while the Tecno T354 with three SIM slots and a bigger battery costs KSh 200 more at KSh 2,400.
Is the Tecno T303 easy for an elderly parent to use?
The Tecno T303 is easy for most elderly users because every action happens on physical keys with clear menus. There is no swiping, no PIN-protected app store and no pop-up notification to confuse a grandparent upcountry. Answering a call takes one press of the green key. Save a few key family numbers to the SIM card before handing it over, so your parent opens the phonebook and finds you straight away. Text messages show in plain lists, and the red key always returns to the home screen if a menu gets confusing.
Is the Tecno T303 a good first phone for a young student?
The Tecno T303 makes a sensible first phone for a primary or junior secondary learner who only needs to call and text parents. It cannot run social media, games from an app store or web browsers, so screen time stays low. Losing it on the school bus costs KSh 2,200 rather than the price of a smartphone. Parents across Nairobi tell us they like that the phone does calls and texts and nothing that competes with homework.
Should I choose the Tecno T303 or the Tecno T354?
Choose the Tecno T303 for two lines at KSh 2,200, and the Tecno T354 if you juggle three SIM cards or want a bigger battery for KSh 200 more. Both are Tecno keypad phones with the same 12-month warranty at Mascom International. The Tecno T354 suits traders who keep Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom lines active together. For a relative who needs one or two numbers and simple calling, the Tecno T303 is the cheaper and easier pick.
Which Kenyan networks does the Tecno T303 work with?
The Tecno T303 works with Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom SIM cards for calls, SMS and USSD services anywhere in Kenya. Its dual SIM slots let a relative keep a Safaricom line for M-Pesa and a Telkom or Airtel line for cheaper calls to family. The handset is unlocked, so any Kenyan SIM works the moment it is inserted. It is a calls and texts phone, so it does not replace a smartphone for internet use.
Will the Tecno T303 keep working during KPLC power cuts?
The Tecno T303 is a good backup phone for KPLC outages because a keypad handset uses far less power than a smartphone. With no apps running in the background and a small screen, its charge lasts much longer between top-ups. The battery is removable, so a worn one can be replaced instead of buying a new phone. We do not publish standby hours for this model, so charge it fully whenever mains power is back.
Does the Tecno T303 have a camera, torch or FM radio?
Ask Mascom International to demonstrate the camera, torch and FM radio on the Tecno T303 before you pay, because these features differ between Tecno keypad models. Our staff will show you each function on the actual unit in our Kimathi Street shop, or send a short WhatsApp video if you are ordering from outside Nairobi. If a camera with flash is essential, the Tecno T102 at KSh 2,050 has one confirmed. For a loud FM speaker, look at the Tecno T316.
Who should buy the Tecno T303 and who should skip it?
The Tecno T303 suits elderly relatives, young learners and anyone who wants a simple dual SIM phone for calls, texts and M-Pesa. It also works as a spare line for office workers. Skip it if you want a 4G keypad phone; the Itel 8010 4G at KSh 1,700 is in stock at Mascom International. Skip it too if you need WhatsApp or banking apps, where the Itel A90 128GB 4GB at KSh 10,300 is the better choice.

- Need the exact screen size before ordering? Message us and our staff will measure the unit for you.
Processor and Software
- Runs a lightweight keypad operating system focused on calls, messages, contacts and USSD menus.
- Menus open in a few key presses and return to the home screen with the red key.
- No app store, accounts or passwords, so there is nothing for a child or grandparent to accidentally download.
- No software updates to manage, meaning the phone behaves the same on day 300 as it did on day one.
- Simple menu language makes the phone easy to set up for a relative over a short phone call.
Memory and Storage
- Phonebook stores contacts on the phone or the SIM; numbers saved to the SIM transfer to any future handset.
- SMS inbox keeps text messages, including payment confirmations and school notices, for reading later.
- Call history lists missed calls, so a parent can see who tried to reach them while the phone was in a bag.
- Built-in memory is not taken up by apps, updates or downloads, so it never fills with unused files.
- Memory card support is not confirmed for this model; ask us on WhatsApp if you need extra storage.
Built-in Tools

- Calculator handles quick sums for market budgets, school fees or a shopping list.
- Calendar shows dates at a glance for clinic appointments, chama meetings and family events.
- Camera, torch and FM radio support vary across Tecno keypad models; our staff demonstrate this unit's features in store.
- Everything sits in one simple menu, so no tool is hidden behind settings or sub-folders.
Battery and Charging
- Removable battery ships in the box and clips into the back of the phone before first use.
- Replaceable design means a tired battery is swapped later instead of buying a whole new phone.
- Charger included in the box, so the phone is ready to use as soon as you get it home.
- Keypad phones draw far less power than smartphones, which makes the Tecno T303 a dependable standby line.
- Charge fully before sending the phone to a relative, so it arrives ready for calls.
Connectivity
- Dual SIM slots keep two lines active, for example Safaricom alongside Airtel or Telkom.
- Voice calls and SMS run on GSM networks nationwide without a data bundle.
- USSD codes such as *334# for M-Pesa and *144# for Safaricom balance work straight from the keypad.
- Not designed for WhatsApp, social media or browsing; this handset is purely for calls, texts and USSD.
- Unlocked handset accepts SIM cards from any local network on insertion.
- Two lines on one phone let a relative receive family calls on either number without swapping SIM cards.
