Alcatel OT-E206a MVNO Phone via O2 Wireless. Following the previous post about MVNO phone in Poland, MVNO is now in the US. New OT-E206a is the first Alcatel mobile phone to be approved by a major GSM carrier in the US and O2 Wireless is the first US based MVNO to offer it. Feature-rich, functional and stylish, the compact OT-E206a is packed with power and is an economical value for the trendsetter looking for a sleek phone at an affordable price.
“We are excited to be the first Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) in the US to launch the OT-E206a product,” commented Pete Grubb, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Locus Telecommunications. “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.”
Alcatel OT-E206a will be offered as a cheap dual-band GSM handset. The Alcatel OT-E206a doesn’t offer Bluetooth or even GPRS (let alone EDGE) data services, and is aimed at the entry-level market. In fact, the Alcatel E206a’s spec-sheet is devoid of much more than basic voice calling functionality.
