Sometimes a Phone Is More Than Just a Phone

Here at HTC we're more than just a landline phone and cable television provider. As many of you already know, our wireless service, HTC Horizon, partners with AT&T Wireless to provide the best nationwide wireless voice and data coverage available.

Since 1996 HTC has been providing 100% digital wireless service, and a broad selection of wireless handsets, to Horry County and parts of Georgetown County via GSM (Global System for Mobile communications).

Through HTC Horizon, customers can choose from basic phone models that provide exceptional voice services or messaging phones which are optimized for mobile e-mail and text messaging. HTC Horizon even has the latest smartphones that can fit in your pocket or purse and almost take the place of a personal computer. All of HTC's messaging phones and smartphones take advantage of the 3G data network, which is built and maintained locally by HTC and nationwide by AT&T Wireless.

Regarding wireless handsets, HTC Horizon carries a plethora of makes and models. For customers seeking more mainstream communications, the Motorola Tundra, with "Push to Talk," is a ruggedized phone built to withstand rough treatment in daily use.

Currently in stock on the messaging phone side is the hot new Samsung Propel , (which is my cell of choice). In addition, we have the new LG Xenon and Pantech Matrix .

For those seeking the flexibility of a smartphone, HTC Horizon offers a number of options, including a complete line of RIM (Research in Motion) Blackberry products. Other options include the HTC Fuze, the LG Incite and several other handsets from Samsung.

With these 3G-capable devices, you can surf the Internet, download files and access email remotely at much greater speeds than ever before. Enjoy streaming video, music content and HBO Mobile (an AT&T and HTC Horizon exclusive) - all from your 3G wireless phone. To see these and other options, stop by any HTC location.

Moving forward, we are excited about the technological advances in wireless technology and hope you are too.

Until next time, feel free to let me know your thoughts on what's happening at HTC.

Best, Tom
