Yahoo Services in Alcatel OneTouch Net Mobile Phone

Alcatel is back! From your once good-ol-mobile phone a decade ago, Alcatel announced last month the release of the new Alcatel OneTouch Net mobile phone with services powered by Yahoo!

The handset was developed for consumers who want to stay connected to Yahoo!’s popular internet services through their mobile phones. Yahoo!’s leading products and services are pre-loaded and directly integrated into the interface for users to stay connected with a click of a button.

“Alcatel is very thrilled with the release of the OneTouch Net. With this, we aim to provide the best Yahoo! mobile user experience in a handset at an affordable price...We believe that easy access to Yahoo!’s incredibly popular Internet services will make the Alcatel OneTouch Net a must-have for Filipinos who are in the market for a unique and powerful mobile phone,” said Darren Sy, General Manager for ClearSight, Philippine distributor of ALCATEL Mobile Phones.
