O2 Wireless has unveiled an Alcatel mobile phone, dubbed OT-E206a in the U.S. It boasts to be the first Alcatel handset to be approved by a major GSM carrier in the US. O2 Wireless is the first US based MVNO to offer it.
The features of the Alcatel OT-E206a mobile phone include:
“We are excited to be the first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in the US to launch the OT-E206a product. We believe this product provides an excellent option that is uniquely positioned to support the cost-conscious prepaid cell phone segment. In addition, we are equally happy to be working with a leading manufacturer like TCL Communication Technology Holdings who has extensive experience in the GSM realm. We look forward to working with them to launch additional handset models in the near future,” noted Pete Grubb, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Locus Telecommunications.
Besides, you will also find vibration notification, SMS messaging, two preloaded games and support for a lithium-ion battery that offers 5 hours of talk time and 250 hours (10 days) of standby. However, the phone does not support EDGE or GPRS data connectivity or a USB port.
The Alcatel OT-E206a handset is expected to release soon after the prepaid plan is in place. No word on its price.
