Alcatel is not a household name among the Nepali smartphone users. The French mobile company has not quite traveled overseas and made its way to Nepal, not much even though the grey channel. But things have changed recently. Alcatel mobiles are now available for purchase in Nepal. And that too through the authorized channel. The company has appointed SHTC International Pvt. Ltd. as the authorized distributors to look after the sales of Alcatel feature phones and smartphones in Nepal. For the quick info, SHTC International is also dealing with the sales and distribution of products in Nepal associated with brands like Prolink, Fujitsu, SonicGear, and so on.
