SouthernLINC Wireless, a Southern Company and an Atlanta-based regional wireless carrier covering the major metro and rural areas in Alabama, Georgia, southeast Mississippi and northwest Florida, has added three new Motorola phones – the i365, i776 and i365IS – to its product portfolio.
 
The company also has confirmed the availability of all phone models including its Push To Talk two-way radio service, which facilitates immediate, reliable and private communications.
 
“We are excited to offer a selection of new Motorola phones to our customers this fall,” said Rodney Johnson, vice president of sales and distribution for SouthernLINC Wireless.
 
The Motorola i365 is a rubberized, highly durable monolith phone that features a crisp and vibrant color screen, retractable antenna, speakerphone and pre-loaded JavaTM tools. The phone comes with an enhanced front-ported, high-volume audio and a stronger vibration alert ideal for heavy-duty environments. The i365 is also GPS-enabled and supports Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free connectivity.
 
The Motorola i776 is a small, stylish and lightweight flip phone, featuring a large, internal color display, Bluetooth technology, a 0.3 megapixel camera and GPS capabilities. With a subscription to the Java Access plan, the phone’s PTT Manager feature allows messages, pictures, events, My Info contents and contact information to be sent via the Push To Talk button.
 
The Motorola i365IS is Motorola’s recently launched highly durable phone that meets intrinsic safety requirements that allows its usage in hazardous areas such as those with flammable gases or fuels. The rubberized and durable i365IS includes a bright color screen, Bluetooth technology, fixed antenna, improved vibration alerts, an emergency call button, GPS, and enhanced, front-ported, high-volume audio. Advanced features include multi-simultaneous talk-group communication, emergency group call and status messaging capabilities.
 
All three new Motorola phones are equipped with LINCaround capabilities, which allow users to manually transfer their phones to an off network two-way radio communication mode that can provide radio coverage within a 6-mile radius.
 
The i365 and i365IS are also certified to Military Standard 810F for dust, shock, extreme temperature, low pressure, solar radiation, blowing rain, humidity and vibration.
 
“These three new phones show our commitment to offer products that are rugged and stylish to meet the varied needs of our diverse customer base,” added Johnson.
