14 DAY TRIAL // Cricket Communications Inc., an US-based provider of affordable wireless services and Kyocera Communications Inc., provider of Kyocera and Sanyo wireless devices, recently announced the availability of the new Kyocera Domino (S1310) mobile phone.
It seems that the Domino mobile phone will replace the Kyocera S1300 in Cricket’s portfolio. The affordable handset is the only Kyocera-branded device sold by Cricket at the moment. The phone might be a good choice for those looking for a mid-budget phone, as combined with Cricket’s nationwide voice coverage and value-driven, unlimited services plans, it provides a wide variety of features at an affordable price for consumers.
“This phone is perfect for our customers who want a stylish, user-friendly mobile phone that offers everything they need at a very affordable price,” said Matt Stoiber, vice president and general manager of devices for Cricket. “The Domino strengthens Cricket’s already versatile handset portfolio, as the Company prepares to expand the line-up even further with the upcoming launch of smartphones before year’s end.”
The main features of the device include: WAP for standard Web browsing, SMS messaging, voice memo recording capabilities, Bluetooth wireless technology support, a 250-contact directory (supporting up to five numbers per contact) and a large display and keypad for easy dialing and texting. The battery features a medium life with a talk time of up to 200 minutes and standby time of up to 200 hours. The S1310 is also HAC-compliant and supports TTY/TDD for the hearing-impaired.
“Kyocera and Cricket enjoyed great success with the Kyocera S1300, the predecessor to the Domino, and we’ve improved on that device to pack the Domino with even more features, but at the same low price point,” said Eric Anderson, vice president of sales at Kyocera Communications Inc. “For customers who want a highly functional and dependable phone at an entry-level price, the Domino is an ideal fit.”
The Domino mobile phone is now available at Cricket retail stores nationwide and licensed Cricket dealers. Those interested in getting the phone must pay a retail price of $99.99.
