This may not be a high-tech phone but then again it will do for basic messaging and calling requirements. Take a look at the Alcatel OT-E206a phone and you will easily like its sleek black case. It may not necessary get a lot of whistles but if you’re not really a show-off then you will value this phone for all its worth.

The Alcatel OT-E206a allows you up to 5 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of stand by time. It is actually an ideal phone for those seeking an economical gadget for easy and efficient communication. TCL was won over by O2 Wireless low long distance rates, national reach and high-quality service so it decided to debut their European designed phone via the company.

TCL communications executive vice president Albert Won said this partnership will allow them to strengthen their presence in the US prepaid area.

The phone is however short in the storage area since it only allow you up to 250 entries in your phone book. At this and age when almost every one in your periphery is into texting, each person sure has more than 250 contacts to store in their phones. Users will also be disappointed with the lack of 3G, Bluetooth and even just the simple USB feature.
