INFOSONICS EXPANDS ITS LINE OF HANDSETS BY

ADDING ALCATEL AND TCL MOBILE PHONES

 

The new distribution agreement will cover the Caribbean Region

 

SAN DIEGO, CA, March 13 , 2006- InfoSonics Corporation (AMEX: IFO), one of the fastest growing distributors of wireless handsets in the United States and Latin America, today announced that it has entered a distribution agreement with T&A Mobile Phones S.A. de C.V. for the Caribbean region. InfoSonics will sell phones under the Alcatel and TCL brands in the region.

 

“The addition of the Alcatel and TCL handsets to our existing product line-up enables InfoSonics to offer a broader selection to our carrier customers,” stated Joseph Ram, President and Chief Executive Officer of InfoSonics. “We believe the Alcatel and TCL products will enable us to form new carrier relationships and expand the countries we service in the Caribbean region. Alcatel and TCL offer a wide variety of products, including entry level and value handsets for mobile customers, a product segment that until now, had been under-represented in our product line-up.”
